... sometimes a simpler instrument is all you need – especially when monthly costs should stay low, or if you're still finding out whether the cello is truly your path.

For this situation, I also have a few simpler instruments among my beautiful old cellos. They are still easy to play and offer a solid, decent sound.

I have them in all sizes and qualities.

Whether a 1/8, a 1/4, a 1/2 or a 3/4 cello, with me every child will find the right cello for themselves.

Among them are also some particularly beautiful old children's cellos, rare in this small size. They are perfect for achieving great success at 'Jugend musiziert' or other competitions for young cellists.
