Pre Loved Stentor Andreas Zeller 3/4 Cello

This pre loved Stentor Andreas Zeller ¾ Cello is part of Stentor’s respected student line, crafted in Romania to European standards and ideal for young cellists. It has several signs of wear around the edges and requires a new bow. The case has seen better days but will certainly work as a temporary measure.
