This distinguished cello offers a warm, sweet voice with remarkable clarity and commanding projection. Following the celebrated 1739 'Sleeping Beauty' Montagnana pattern, it produces a refined, clean sound that moves forward effortlessly while maintaining an elegant, colorful character. The instrument's refined tonal palette combines power with sophistication, creating a voice that is both commanding and artistically versatile.
In terms of playability, this cello is notably accommodating, with an effortless response and supple resistance that makes it a joy to handle. It grabs the string beautifully and speaks easily across all registers, with particularly pleasant handling in thumb position. The smooth shifts and natural response create an experience that feels incredibly organic, allowing players to focus on their artistic expression rather than technical challenges.
What sets this instrument apart is its remarkable versatility across different playing contexts. Whether in solo performance, chamber music, or orchestral settings, it adapts beautifully while maintaining its distinctive voice. This adaptability, combined with its refined character and excellent playability, makes it an ideal choice for advancing conservatory students through professional players, particularly those who need an instrument that can excel in multiple musical environments.

Buying a Cello Online from Linda West Cellos
All of our cellos (except for those on consignment or mezzo-forte instruments) come with a 14-day trial period. Once you receive your new cello, play it for 2 weeks, and if it's not "the one", contact us to discuss a return or replacement. Shipping costs back to us are the buyer's responsibility. Please see our FAQs for complete details.
Most cellos will come with a case and a bow. If you are shopping from a distance, Linda will select the most compatible bow for your cello by playing the instrument and trying out several bows. As for cases, most cellos will come with a standard hard case, which really depends on the availability. We often use Eastman CACL28 or CACL18 cases as our standard case. For more expensive instruments that are noted as coming with a lightweight hardcase, this also depends on what we have in stock, and what your chosen instrument will fit into. We usually are selecting from Gewa Air, Otto Musica, Eastman or Century Strings cases in the $1,000 - $1,400 price range. We usually give you a couple options of case and color.
We know that purchasing a cello online takes an incredible amount of trust, knowledge, and information. Therefore, we go the extra mile to make sure that you have as much information about your future cello soulmate as we can possibly provide. We would love to talk to you before you put that cello in your cart and purchase it so we can help you make sure it's going to be the right one for you. Unlike big, 'volume' shops, we are intimately familiar with each cello we have listed, and are experts at cello/player match-making. We are very passionate about making sure you receive the cello that is going to make your playing blossom, and put a smile on your face every time you play.
