This exceptional Noel Sweetman cello, handcrafted in Cambridge, New Zealand in 1991, represents a rare piece of Kiwi luthiery heritage from one of the country's most respected and prolific makers. Noel Sweetman, a master luthier from a multi-generational family tradition, built this instrument using only premium European tonewoods: fine spruce for the top and beautifully flamed maple for the back, sides, and neck—materials chosen for their superior acoustic qualities and resonance.

In excellent condition for its age, the cello has no cracks, damage, or signs of woodworm - a testament to careful stewardship and the enduring quality of Sweetman's craftsmanship. It has been freshly serviced and professionally set up for optimal playability, featuring the original Noel Sweetman bridge, fresh Larsen Soloist strings for rich, powerful tone, and a modern Wittner tailpiece for precise tuning stability and lightweight convenience.

Ideal for advancing students, professionals, or discerning collectors seeking a characterful, vintage New Zealand-made instrument with warm projection and depth. This well-preserved 1991 Sweetman offers authentic voice, reliability, and historical significance without the premium price of later works. Ready to sing in the hands of its next owner!
