Lothar Semmlinger M133 Cello

The Instrument Makers from Baiersdorf, Germany

The work carried out by the Instruments making family Semmlinger is an art as well as a craft. Gouges, planes, files and woodcarving knives dominate the view on the workbenches where nowadays the Sons Stefan and Christian also work. They are the heirs of a family tradition and will be passing on something that is much more than just a craft.

The master instruments are copied from fine historical instruments. Instruments are of superior quality, handcrafted with special varnish in the old tradition. They are made from exquisite tone wood and are exclusively handcrafted by the master, giving each instrument its own character.

Professionally hand-rubbed spirit varnish covers highly seasoned fine figure European vertical grain spruce top, highly seasoned indifferent flamed figured maple back and sides, European figured flamed maple neck and scroll. The Model 133 is assembled with highly seasoned ebony fittings and setup with a high quality German bridge, quality German tailpiece built-in adjusters. The cello is strung up with quality European strings offering dynamic range, intense and brilliant coloration, and quick response. Professionally set up and ready to play.
