Paganini 500 instruments are excellent examples of the quality of violin and cello production possible in China these days. This cello has an attractive warm brown varnish, and is designed for students working towards the middle grades. Good-quality ebony and European fittings align with well-executed workmanship in producing a reliable instrument with an open, even, pleasant tone that speaks easily across all four strings. This outfit comes with a strongly-padded bag and a very playable bow.
