Featured Cello
German, 1910
This a beautiful cello in excellent condition with very few repairs: a lovely model with a stunning varnish. In 1996, well-known luthier Greg Wylie worked on this cello adjusting some of the graduations. Greg is a top-notch craftsman: I’ve personally seen a numbers of examples of his work: it is instantly recognizable and some of the cleanest and finest I’ve ever seen. But the best part of this cello is the sound. Easily fingered and instantly responsive, the cello produces a warm, focused sound, as rich as the varnish.

Cello Restoration, Repairs, Sales & Service
Paul Perley Cellos offers fine cellos and stringed instruments in all price ranges. We specialize in the restoration, repair, and sale of cellos, basses and violins. Paul Perley Cellos takes pride in the personal experience that we are able to provide to each customer, and aim to connect each client with an instrument that fits their needs. We consider our setup and adjustment services second to none, as professional and novice players from throughout New England come to the shop for tonal improvement.
We have instruments in all price ranges, and proudly ship to all 50 states and Canada. Looking for a special instrument and not finding it in our listings? Email us or give us a call. We usually have many more cellos and basses than our website indicates: quite a few are acquired and sold before we have time to photograph them and add them to our website.
REPAIR & RESTORATION. Customers are often surprised to learn that their cello, which they were considering upgrading from, can be made to play much easier, look much better, and have better sound at a fraction of the cost of another cello. We do everything from complete restorations to minor repairs to tonal improvements. Our rates are reasonable, and our work is of the highest quality. Our two luthiers, Paul & Thurmond, have a combined professional experience of over 70 years. Contact us with your questions, and take a look at our Restoration page for some of our projects.
RESTORED OLDER GERMAN CELLOS. From time to time we have German cellos, 1880’s - 1960’s, that we have restored and sell for $2500 - $6000. Most of these are terrific players; many outplay cellos costing 10 times as much, one even soloed in the White House! All are guaranteed. When they’re ready, they go quickly. Call us to see if we have one, as not all of them make it to our website. (802) 229-1501.
SHIPPING. Many of the cellos offered for sale in our shop can be shipped for free if instrument has been purchased (a final sale). If you have questions about having a cello shipped to you, please call us at (802) 229 1501
ONLINE PURCHASING. WE ARE NO LONGER DOING ONLINE PURCHASING. PLEASE TELEPHONE US AT 802 229 1501 OR EMAIL US AT pperleycellos@aol.com. .
Contact us at (802) 229 1501 to discuss the consignment, repair, restoration, or purchase of a cello, bass, violin, or bow!
