KG instruments are handcrafted in China from maple and spruce with ebony fittings. We set up these instruments to our professional playing standard (5*) which includes a fully hand carved bridge and fitted soundpost with fitted pegs for easy tuning and the fingerboards are planed to meet the correct curves and profiles for ease of playing. Ideal for beginner or intermediate level cellists, these cellos have a clear, balanced tone and a quick response.
