Originally from Prague, the Juzek family workshop has been in existence for over one hundred years and continues to uphold the high standards of their founders. Bringing forth a rich and expansive tone, this cello provides the player with an efficient sense of mobility and clear projection of sound. The lower strings resonate with ease, and response is quick and focused. A sweet-yet-present upper register makes for smooth expression during lyrical passages while also offering precision and purity to quick runs and string crossings. This Juzek cello features a warm reddish-brown varnish with tight, small flaming on the back and ribs. This cello would be an excellent instrument for an advancing player looking for an upgrade.
