Cello String Instruments
Because of our specialty
and dedication to the
upright bass and the large volumes that we buy and
make them, we are in a perfect place to sell and offer
extremely fine professional caliber cellos yet at super
low 'student' level prices. There is no middleman
or shop to 'up charge' or elevate our retail price. Here,
we have the best cellos for your money.

We offer our
own brands, Emile Gillet and Thompson
cellos. Our mission (like our basses) is to offer
very high level quality and expertise, at the lowest,
most competitive prices. When comparing one of our cellos
with those of similar price range from other shops or dealers,
our cellos will immediately stand out as a far higher
quality. If you would like to see and read more

What's so great about our cellos? Again,
because of our large volumes of basses we also can buy
cellos (at our own high specifications) and cut the
price in half. What this does is offer an
extremely well made, high quality cello that will be a
much better deal to the buyer. The packages that we offer
include cello cases and bows that are actually included
in at our own wholesale costs, making the total an
extremely attractive price.
We have noticed a pattern where our customers were
ordering cello cases from us after
Thompson cellos are our most affordable cello and
start at $1,795. The Gillet cellos start at $3,450
with case.

What's the difference between the Thompson and the Emile Gillet cellos?
The Gillet cellos were our first cello offering several years ago. The
main difference is that the Gillet cellos have the
highest grade, very flamed (attractive) wood which just
off the bat raises the price significantly. Buying
the best, most attractive maple can be very expensive.
They Gillet cellos are also tap tuned by expert
makers that require the instrument to be pretested for
the best tone and resonance. So the Gillets not only
look like the best cellos, they sound like it. The
Thompson cellos are made from more plainer looking maple, but
still have attractive grain with a deep and lush, hand
rubbed varnish.
The Gillet cellos only come with the best sets of
cello strings: Tungsten Spirocore C & G, with Larsen A
and D strings. The Thompsons come in different
string assortments that vary in price which can be
chosen by the customer.

How to try and buy. We keep trials on our
cellos very simple: Once the desired cello, case
and package (with strings) is decided on, we ship it to
you for a two week trial. Shipping is free (for
domestic USA) so long as the cello is purchased, which
most do. If the cello is returned, we ask that our
customers repay us for the initial shipping charges.
Shipping is usually below $80.
