For sale: KARL HOFNER "ALFRED STINGL" cello. This instrument has a label that reads "Alfred Stingl by Höfner (since 1887)" and features beautifully preserved wood grain and luster, making it a cello with character. The sound character is such that the low notes are not just thick, but also retain a core, and the response is immediate when the bow is placed on the strings. The mid-range tends to have a well-defined resonance, making it easy to feel the sound develop during long tones and scale exercises. It's a type that projects when played strongly and retains a sense of airiness when played softly, making it an easy-to-handle set for those who want to start playing the cello or those who want to pick it up again after a break. An Eastman bow is included. This makes it easier to get started than just the instrument alone, and you can start playing right away. Please check the condition based on the photos. Although it is a used item, there are some scratches and scuffs from use, but there is no critical damage. Shipping will prioritize damage prevention, and the instrument will be carefully packed. Please check the photos carefully and understand that this is a used item before purchasing. Keywords: Höfner, Hofner, Alfred Stingl, cello, Eastman, with bow
