Christian Petru Demeter’s workshop is based in Transylvania, Romania. A second-generation violin maker, the Demeter workshop combines modern technology with traditional handmaking to produce a line of reasonably priced instruments. This cello has a clean, crisp sound which gives advanced players comfortable playing responses and clear ringing tones for intonation. It is even across all four strings and projects well in the upper registers. The Romanian wood gives character to each individual instrument, which the transparent, light golden oil varnish visually supports. We recommend this cello for the advancing student or amateur cellist.
