Description:

Made by the contemporary Hungarian maker Ákos Balázs, this cello features gorgeous craftsmanship and varnish work and has a full, punchy, and bright 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 narrow grain, widening at the flanks. The instrument is covered in a beautiful gold brown varnish and has been heavily antiqued by the maker, revealing a pale brown ground beneath. The cello is in new condition.
