The No. 133A is a beautifully crafted cello, offering a surprisingly mature sound for its size. It’s ideal for students transitioning from fractional sizes or smaller adults who find full-size instruments unwieldy – the 66cm scale makes it very approachable. The antiqued finish gives it a lovely vintage vibe.
