"Ladies" 7/8 size Cello. Franz Sandner Nauheim German
"Ladies" 7/8 size Cello. Franz Sandner Nauheim German Lovely small cello, back length 727mm, 7/8 size Suitable for student grades 5-8, and for amateur orchestral playing. I bought it in December from Bonhams Fine Musical Instrument Auctions, Knightsbridge, London (no longer trading in Musical Instruments). It was valued in January for £ by Amati Musical Instrument Auctioneers. It is in good condition. It has a few scratches and scrapes, the most significant being a crack on the lower bout, which was looked at by a professional luthier. Her opinion was that it was a stable crack, and was not in danger of affecting the tone, or likely to case weakness in any way. It is fitted with metal strings, I haven't changed them since purchase, so I don't know which brand. I am selling because I bought this as my 2nd instrument, but I haven't really needed a 2nd instrument for a few years now, so it hasn't been played much. I am also selling a Paesold soft padded cello bag, for £30 if you need a case for it. I can also recommend a bow if you need one. I am very happy for you to come and try the cello. Instruments are very personal, I recommend that you try before you buy! Read More
