The Scotti Cello is hand carved from all solid woods. This is made in Scott Cao's factory and presents a top quality student cello at a price point where you normally find lower grade instruments. The Scotti Cello has a solid spruce top, solid maple back sides and neck, ebony fingerboard, boxwood tuning pegs and a fine tuner tailpiece. We have up-fitted the cello with a Scott Cao foam case, Brazilwood bow and Prelude strings. The tone is balanced and forgiving.
