Yamaha Cellos

Yamaha cellos give advancing cellists a quality start. Ambitious students have the chance to play with a classic feel.

This is thanks to designs inspired by the most famous Stradivarius cellos which are then hand-carved by Yamaha’s renowned artisans. With high-quality materials like Rosewood, Spruce, Maple, and Ebony, these cellos are known for their bright, clear sound.

About Cellos

As with all instruments from the string family, choosing the right size cello is important. A cello that is too small or too large for its user will be more difficult to play. Cello choices are usually determined based on age, height or body length.
