Frequently Asked Questions

Gewa sources their tonewoods from Europe, which generally translates to a higher density and better acoustic properties than woods from other regions. It’s a noticeable difference in sound.
The Allegro VC1 punches above its weight class – the solid wood construction gives it a richer, fuller tone than many laminate-top competitors at a similar price point.
A 1/4 size is naturally a stepping stone. As a student progresses, moving to a 1/2 or full-size cello will be necessary, but this provides a quality experience while they’re developing.
