Description:

Made by the contemporary Hungarian maker Ákos Balázs, this cello features gorgeous craftsmanship and varnish work and has a full, warm, and punchy tone.

The back is made from two pieces of quarter-cut maple, marked by narrow flame, slanting slightly downwards toward the sides. The wood of the ribs and scroll are similar to that of the back. The two-piece spruce top has straight and medium grain, narrowing and then widening at the flanks. The instrument is covered in a beautiful red-brown varnish with shades of gold that has been heavily antiqued by the maker, revealing a pale gold ground beneath. The cello is in new condition.
