Extremely rare German-made 【BENEDIKT LANG MITTENWALD KARWENDEL】 old cello from 1987. This model is one of the higher-grade models within the BENEDIKT LANG line. Original price: 820,000 yen Mr. Benedikt Lang was born in 1893 in Luby, Czech Republic, and continued to make instruments in Mittenwald, Germany, known as the home of violin making, where people from all over the world gathered to study stringed instrument making. In 1994, the highly popular German stringed instrument maker "Lothar Semmlinger" took over the production. 【Product Condition】 In addition to the beauty of the wood grain, the tone also has a wider and deeper spread. The current "Semmlinger" cellos are easy to play with a good balance on each string, and I feel that they are characterized by their well-behaved nature. However, this cello from the "Lang" era, which is being offered for sale this time, not only has beautiful wood grain and uses high-quality wood, but also has been sufficiently dried over the more than 30 years since it was made. Although it is subjective, it has a lustrous sound with many overtones, bright and soaring high notes, powerful and dense punchy low notes that are rich and enveloping, and in addition, it responds quickly to bowing and has a good sound start. I feel that it is a rather energetic and mischievous instrument. In any case, it is a valuable German cello from a rare era, and I am sure you will be satisfied with the performance that you would not find in a new instrument of the same price. Please actually pick it up and experience its refreshing sound. Although there are some scratches due to aging, there is no damage that would interfere with playing, and it is still an active cello. Rather, it has character and a great atmosphere. Accessories include a hard case. This is an item that is rarely seen in the used market, so please consider it at this opportunity. Please check the photos carefully, and although it is a good product, please understand that it is a used item before purchasing.
