Xiangzi 1/8 Cello Maple Back Professional Student

Description

Product Overview

The Xiangzi 1/8 cello is meticulously handcrafted for young musicians seeking a high‑quality instrument without the bulk of full‑size models. Featuring a premium spruce top that enhances resonance and a solid maple back and sides for structural stability, this cello produces a warm, balanced tone across its four stainless steel strings. Ebony fittings—including the fingerboard, pegs, and endpin—add durability and a sleek aesthetic. The instrument measures 31.4 x 11.8 x 11.8 inches, weighs 8.8 pounds, and is finished in a classic black 5‑string style, though it is tuned for a standard 4‑string setup. Included accessories are a padded cello bag for safe transport and a Brazilwood bow, ensuring students can begin playing immediately.
