Endeavour 'Tribute' cellos are designed as a tribute to Antonio Stradivari and are the crown of the Endeavour range. These hand-carved masterpiece cellos are made with hand selected European tonewood which is naturally aged using time-honoured traditional methods, giving the best stability and tonal qualities. Meticulously hand-carved to strict design and quality specifications of The String Workshop. They stand out from other brands of 'heavy' and 'dull' instruments which are swamping today's market.
Endeavour 'Tribute' cellos are light-weight and produce an alive, and clear resonance which far exceeds the tone of other instruments in this price range. Made with carefully selected fine-grained and seasoned European tonewood, they are hand carved, hand assembled, and then carefully hand varnished with a natural recipe traditional oil varnish before being sent to New Zealand for inspection. Once they arrive in New Zealand, they are carefully inspected for quality control. Each instrument is then personally set-up by Phil Whitehead and professionally adjusted for perfect playability, and for the most clear and balanced tone.
Endeavour 'Tribute' cellos are hand carved with a highest grade European wood. Fine-grained aged 'select' solid spruce top, highest grade aged 'select' solid flamed maple back and sides and neck, hand inlaid purfling, natural and traditional oil varnish, and full ebony fittings.
