With its warm, lyrical sound, this high-quality antique 7/8 cello from the early 19th century is a recommended instrument for musicians with small hands who value a noble, mature and well-balanced tone. The 7/8 cello was made in Mirecourt in the 1820s and its fine appearance reveals an experienced, inspired hand. The purfling, elaborately painted flames and subtle patina of the varnish define the appearance of this rare 7/8 cello. The very handy and light 7/8 cello is in very good condition with very few minor repairs. The luthiers in our luthier's workshop have painstakingly refurbished this fine antique 7/8 cello and made it ready to play. Its characterful, warm, lyrical voice is of particular interest to adult, discerning players. Like all our cellos, the 7/8 cello is delivered with a 30-day return policy and unlimited trade-in guarantee. 

The 7/8 cello has no sound post crack on the back, the wood in that area merely shows a discoloration.
