This focused, bright instrument offers a clean, open voice that remains balanced and forward in its projection. Its supple playability and reliable handling characteristics make it an excellent choice for both beginners and advancing students. The natural color in its voice adds interest while maintaining clarity and consistency.
The cello demonstrates distinguished handling characteristics, speaking easily under the bow and maintaining reliable response in higher positions. Its flexible, consistent response in thumb position and overall accessibility create an ideal learning environment for students at various stages of development.
The Vivo USA line continues to provide some of our best selling cellos. Hand-crafted in Beijing, China, even the lowest priced models are all solid carved with inlaid purling and ebony accessories (unless noted). We have found that the Vivos always play well beyond their price point. Often earning my ‘Easy’ badge, even the higher priced cellos, such as the Zetoni 200 and 100 line, are frequently easy enough for even beginners to play. This makes the Vivos a perfect investment for beginners who don’t want to outgrow their first instrument, or for more advanced students on a tight budget.
Based in Southern California, Vivos are made in workshops selected by the owner of Vivo, who is a cellist. One of his favorite workshops has a 40-year veteran craftsman who specializes only in cellos. The owner personally hand-selects many of the higher end models, such as the Limited edition cellos. The 1717 Rugeri and 1777 Guadagnini models are a special project for Linda West Cellos hand-crafted following all the dimensions and design nuances of the original.
