Item #: 3Q-VC-000454

The Howard Core Symphony SM34 Cello represents the craftsmanship and tonal promise that define the renowned Symphony series, built from high-quality tonewoods and designed for expressive resonance. This particular 4/4 full-size model is unadjusted and discounted due to a small crack on the back, making it an excellent opportunity for restoration, customization, or luthier work.

Constructed from aged spruce and flamed maple, the SM34 maintains the integrity and acoustic foundation of the Symphony line. Its warm amber-brown varnish accentuates the natural beauty of the tonewoods while preserving their tonal potential. Once professionally repaired and adjusted, this cello is capable of achieving a full, rich sound with balanced projection and clarity—ideal for intermediate or advancing musicians seeking an affordable carved instrument.

Perfect for educators, workshop technicians, or players who enjoy instrument restoration, the SM34 offers exceptional value and tonal promise once restored to full performance condition.
