My cello looks a bit dark and the thick wood makes it robust. I haven't change anything except for strings, but basically the condition is fine. | |||||||||
C and G have pretty rich sounds but D is not quite good. I wish if it had a better quality at high range... | ![]() |

SHOP | ||||||||||
I bought it at a shop named Artisan House in Meguro, Tokyo. Its home office
is located in Kobe and the meister go around. There's a good deal of stocks
in the cosy room and the shop assistant gives us a kind advice. You can
also find violin and viola. Map and the address are ![]() |

BOWS | ||||||||||
I have two bows; one is cheap and another is better. The cheap one is easy to make sounds but a bit weak. The second bow has a quite good quality and nice combination with my cello. To choose a proper bow is absolutely important. | ||||||||||
FAVORITE STRINGS | ||||||||||
I've tried dozens of stirngs and my favorite is Obligato by Pirastro whose core is nylon. The sound is rich and soft. What's better is the quality lasts longer than gut. | ||||||||||

FEATURES | ||||||||||
All in all, the sound is not showy but strong. It's unlikely to bring sound far forward, but I like the balance. Although I'd tried a couple of cellos before I decided and had some advices, I think the important thing is whether you like it or not. If you like it, that's the best one. |
