This is a new model for Vivo, based on dimensions supplied by Linda; an exact replica of the famous 'Gore-Booth Rothschild' 1710 Stradivarius cello owned and played most recently by Swiss cellist, Rocco Filippini.
Hand-selected by Linda on a recent trip to L.A. European tonewoods, this resonant cello feels like butter under the hand as it is quite easy to play. The "A" string is especially smooth and possesses a very rich tone. This character is present across the entire range of the instrument, creating an even and cohesive tone. This tone allows the cello to project easily, enabling any performer to reach every end of a concert hall. This would be ideal for a serious amateur or a music major looking for a soloistic sound.
Full Size (4/4), Crafted in 2021, New
All cellos are setup by Linda and played before being shipped, guaranteed.
Price includes a pernambuco bow and a lightweight, hybrid hard case.

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. The pernambuco bow choice will typically be an Arcos Brasil Nickel-mounted bow, value $760. The Carbon option for that same level cello will be something in the same price range as the nickel-mounted pernambuco. 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. If your instrument says it comes with a brasilwood bow, we have several different bows to choose from, and they are typically priced under $200. The carbon option will be similarly priced. Again, we will hand-select the bow for you if you are shopping online, making sure we select the most compatible bow for your instrument. If you have questions about this please reach out to us. 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, Musilia, 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.
