Palatino VC-850 Dolce Cello Outfit with Carrying Bag, 4/4 Size

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.

The VC-850 is a gorgeous instrument, hand crafted with a select spruce top and highly flamed maple back and sides. These woods are further complimented by the Dolce's stunning oil varnish finish. This gorgeous finish adds to the cello's tone as it enhances the resonant properties of the tonewoods. This cello features a tight grained select spruce top, highly flamed maple back and sides and a hand carved solid maple neck. The Dolce comes complete with an octagonal Brazilwood bow with ebony frog and a DuraGuard bag. Available in sizes 4/4, 3/4 and 1/2.

Palatino's line of string instruments include violins, violas, cellos and basses, most of which are hand-carved and offered in golden brown or oil varnish finishes. Palatino violins were the top selling student violins in 2003, signifying the brand's strong commitment to the educational market.
