Product Overview
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.

This cello has a hand-rubbed finish for incredible resonance and a beautiful antique look. Includes DuraGuard carrying bag. Availabe in 4/4 size only.
