It is difficult to find a great European cello in this price range. This is an exceptional instrument from Germany: fine workmanship, lovely varnish, and in a slightly smaller model, which is also difficult to find in this era of larger and larger new cellos. A terrific player, from balancing a string quartet to competing with a full orchestra in a concerto. Very even from low C to the very highest register. And, it comes with Wittner planetary-geared pegs, which work smoothly, accurately, and effortlessly year round. The Hamma has warm, focused tone with plenty of power at a very affordable price.

We have one Hamma here with a slight blemish near the endpin, that we will sell for $5000. It comes with all our guarantees and free maintenance for as long as you own it. In store only: payment must be without a merchant fee.

Please call (802 229 1501) or email (pperleycellos @aol.com) for more detailed information on this instrument, or to schedule a trial. You'll always speak with an owner.
