Jan Szlachtowski Professional Grade 7/8 Cello

Incredibly responsive to both dynamics and vibrato, and has a robustly resonant and woody sound. This size is better suited for smaller players (5' 4" and under) or players with smaller hands, with the shorter string length making stretches and double stops way easier. This particular instrument is very easy to play and is incredibly powerful and complex.
