Markov is a Bulgarian maker who makes violin-family instruments for select shops in the US. This one shows first-rate workmanship, a lovely dark varnish and is in pristine condition. And it is one of the best players in the shop: its 27 years of use has made it very rich with plenty of power. And, like all cellos in our shop, easily fingered. (New Markov cellos command $12,500.)
