The Cremona SC-500 Premier Artist Cello Outfit sets a new standard for excellence. Lovely, well-flamed solid maple and select, close-grained solid spruce are carefully hand-carved and graduated for unparalleled tone and beauty. A clear, pleasing red-brown finish gives this cello an elegant look, while genuine D'Addario Prelude strings provide a rich tone and stable tuning. A fine J. LaSalle LB-17C Premium Brazilwood Deluxe student cello bow and a well-padded gig bag complete the outfit—making the SC-500 a premier choice for serious cellists.

Superb Tonewoods Hand-Selected and Hand-Carved

The foundation of the SC-500's resonant tone lies in its solid spruce top and solid flamed maple back, sides and neck. These tonewoods are hand-selected, hand-carved and graduated to achieve optimal resonance across the instrument's range. The spruce top in particular is crafted to a perfect arch and thickness to produce a robust yet balanced tone.

A Striking Finish and Timeless Design

A clear, deep red-brown varnish finish gives the SC-500 a classic look worthy of the concert hall. Ebony fittings, fingerboard and lightweight composite tailpiece provide a timeless design. The cello's curves are shaped for comfort and acoustics, with an elegantly carved scroll and corners. An adjustable ebony bridge allows for precise tuning and string height adjustments.

Premium Strings and Bow for an Exceptional Experience

Genuine D'Addario Prelude strings provide a rich, nuanced tone and stable intonation. A J. LaSalle LB-17C Premium Brazilwood bow features high-quality horsehair and a rounded stick for responsive playability and articulation. Together, these components give the cellist an instrument ready to inspire from the first note.

Transport and Protect Your Investment

A well-padded gig bag provides safe transport and storage for your SC-500 cello outfit. Multiple handles and shoulder straps make it easy to carry, while thick padding shields the instrument from damage. A large front pocket offers additional storage space for accessories.
