About the SS02
An entry student cello, balanced and resonant.
The SS02 1/2 Cello supports young musicians as they develop their technique and musicality. Despite its smaller size, it delivers a full-bodied tone across the registers, with a clear, projecting sound that helps students hear their progress clearly.
The instrument is designed with ease of play in mind. A smooth fingerboard and responsive strings make it comfortable for young students, promoting good technique from the very first lesson.
Tone and playability
Clear, resonant, easy to draw.
The SS02 1/2 produces a balanced sound across the lower and upper registers, ideal for early lessons, exam pieces, and small recitals. It speaks readily under the bow so students can focus on technique rather than wrestling with the instrument.
The cello is fitted with quality strings — typically Larsen or Pirastro Evah Pirazzi — chosen for their stability, tonal depth, and responsiveness as students progress.
