Xeuchang Sun Cello Handmade Workshop Cello

One Last Model on Clearance - Others Available as Special Order

About the Maker, Mr. Sun

A luthier since the 1960's, Mr. Sun has won many prestigious awards including:

- Gold medal for craftmanship and a Silver medal for tone in cello making - China's National Violin Making Competition (1987)

- Certificate of Merit for Bass Workmanship - 15th International Violin Society of America (VSA) Competition and Exhibition (2002)

 

Sun's Cellos

Sun is best-known for his cellos and, to keep up with demand, offers a workshop level for his instruments. His product line's worksmanship has been appreciated among some of the most prestigious luthiers and shops in Asia, Europe, Canada and the United States and his instruments are played by student to professional players around the world.

In fact, the Principal Cellist for the Regina Symphony Orchestra in Canada plays a CL-302 and a CL-306.

These instruments are made with the finest flamed solid tone woods (no laminates). Fine setup and quality perlon core strings is included on all instruments.

FOR SALE/51% off CLEARANCE: Soloist CL-303, 4/4 size

Frankly, cellos are big and take up a lot of our storage space. Just the shipping box alone is taking up the space of 20 violins, so Fiddleheads is getting out of selling cellos. We're moving this last cello for a considerable discount to make room for violin inventory.

Two cases (soft and hard) are included with this clearance offer.

 

This fine cello is the 4th level in the series from the workshop of Violin Society of America winning cello and bass maker Xuechang Sun.

Golden honey Deluxe Oil Varnish. Warm tone, moderate volum, bright A-string. Flamed solid wood (2-piece back), ebony pegs.

Fully setup with all new Jargar strings and ready to be played.

This particular Cello was our in-shop display model and only went on local trial twice, so it only has the minimum of expected wear and tear. Fully setup with new Jargar strings [Retail $5400] and ready to play. 

Testimonial on another CL-303

It's very difficult to describe a feeling for an instrument; it's better in music, but what I could hear playing [my Xeuchang Sun CL-303] was a very nice sound with a beautiful "sustain" that inspired me to remain quiet and breathless long after the last note has finished.

After almost 6 months of practicing 1.5 to 2 hours a day I'm completely used to this beautiful cello. The sound is worlds better than when I first bought it. It is improving all the time. It seems the cello is learning to play better!

I am very happy with my CL-303 cello. It's a serious instrument for a serious cellist and an excellent investment. Thanks again for your excellent service, Fiddleheads.
