Francesco Giovanni Cello

The Francesco Giovanni cello is a very responsive instrument that is well balanced tonally, has excellent projection, and features a warm, open sound that is rich in overtones. Careful attention to every detail, including the shaping of the neck and fingerboard, assures that every Giovanni cello plays easily and responsively.

The Giovanni is crafted using well seasoned tonewoods, including a top of straight-grained spruce, and back and ribs of very nicely flamed maple. It is hand-varnished in our Chicago workshop with a rich, shaded, dark brown varnish that brings out the beauty of the wood.

Like all instruments from W. H. Lee Educational Strings, the Francesco Giovanni Cello is expertly set up by luthiers in our Chicago workshop. It is an ideal choice for anyone needing a moderately priced cello with the power and tonal flexibility to function as either a solo or orchestral instrument.
