DISC Stentor Elysia Cello, 1/2, Instrument Only Overview
Crafted with care and attention. The Stentor Elysia cello is one of the best cellos that Stentor has to offer. Boasting a hand-carved body from finely figured tonewoods, the Stentor Elysia cello is the ideal choice for advancing students.
What really makes the Elysia cello stand out is how it's made. Handcrafted by one, highly skilled craftsman, each Elysia is a unique instrument that reflects the individuality of its master. Once finished, the Elysia cello is finished in a gorgeous shellac varnish.
Just like cellos that cost ten times the price, the Elysia has full Ebony fittings. Not only will these be more comfortable for you, but the Ebony will also be durable and hardwearing. To complete the Elysia, it's strung with Pirastro Chromcor strings which offer a lovely tone.

Hand carved to perfection
Each and every part of the Stentor Elysia cello has been set up by hand. Individually carved by the most skilled workers in a specialist workshop, each cello is produced under the close supervision of one master maker. This traditional luthier workflow is exactly how cellos were made hundreds of years ago.
The Spruce top and finely figured Maple back, sides, and neck have all been individually carved to provide the best possible sound. The fitted Aubert bridge has been contoured to match the shape of the fitted fingerboard, allowing for optimum feel and ease of playing. The pegs and pegbox have been carved to match each other - perfectly designed for easy tuning. Once the Elysia is completed, a shellac varnish is applied for an instantly recognisable traditional finish. Finally, each and every cello is workshop tested to guarantee perfection.
Full Ebony fittings
The Stentor Elysia has been given some of the best fittings available to make a truly professional instrument. Ebony was chosen for the fingerboard and pegs because of its super-fine grain which is very resistant to moisture. As a result, they Ebony fittings won't warp or bulge over time, making the instrument long-lasting and easy to maintain. Ebony is also a tough wood, meaning it is less susceptible to damage.
Pirastro Chromcor cello strings
Pirastro Chromcor strings are ideal for cellists looking for a brilliant and bright sound. Perfect for playing all genres of music, these long-lasting chrome-wound strings will not only sound great, but will not corrode due to hand perspiration. The A and D strings have a bright sound while the G and C strings have a rounded and brilliant sound and are easy to play.
