The Gewa Maestro 1 1/2 is a solid choice for serious young cellists or smaller adults. The European woods and hand-applied varnish give it a surprisingly mature sound for an instrument in this category, and the ebony fittings add a touch of refinement. It's a great stepping stone before moving to a full-size instrument.
