Product Overview
The Palatino VC-450 Allegro Cello Outfit has long been the choice of beginning Cellists because of its fabulous value and remarkable quality. The Palatino VC-450 has excellent features at a very affordable price. This cello is a student favorite because of its solid woods, ebony fittings and gorgeous tone. Premium Grade-A materials help provide this instrument with sweet tone and easy playability. The cello is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful sounding instruments in the world. Able to produce sounds both deep and melodious as well as strident or angst-ridden, the cello can truly run the gamut when it comes to musical and lyrical expression.
The Palatino VC-450 Allegro Cello is carefully hand carved from solid woods. Solid hand-carved tone woods allow the instrument to sing and breathe with each stroke. The top and backs are graduated to precise measurements, making sure that neither surface is too thick or too thin. This allows for the cello to have a very clear open sound. Ebony pegs and fingerboard generate tuning stability and create a high-density playing surface, just like cellos in professional orchestras the world over. The neck is hand carved to give you a comfortable feel and the scrolls are gracefully shaped. Palatino only uses high quality fittings that complement the outstanding craftsmanship of the instrument. Ready to play and transport to the concert hall with the included padded gig bag and ebony frog bow, students and teachers alike have trusted the Allegro for over two decades.
Inspired by old world craftsmanship and the artistry of Italian design, Palatino takes its name from a central hill in Rome where ancient emperors built their palaces. It is from these origins that provide Palatino its passion for incredibly crafted and meticulously detailed musical instruments. Since 1994, Palatino has been devoted to bringing together the beauty of tradition with the strength of contemporary technology to classic instruments for the world to enjoy.
