The Albert Nebel cello by Eastman Strings is a standout choice for advancing cellists seeking an instrument with exceptional tone, playability, and craftsmanship—without entering the fully professional price tier.

Each cello is crafted using a European spruce top and beautifully flamed maple back and sides, finished with a hand-applied antique-style spirit varnish that enhances both tonal warmth and visual depth. The result is a cello that speaks clearly across all registers with a warm, responsive sound and strong projection—ideal for ensemble playing, solo work, or audition preparation.

Albert Nebel cellos are built in Eastman’s workshop using traditional German-inspired methods and receive extensive hand adjustment and setup to ensure each instrument performs at its best. This model has become a trusted favorite among private teachers, conservatory students, and adult amateurs for its consistency, quality, and value.

The setup on this cello includes:

• Larsen A and D Strings
• Perpetual Edition G String
• Spirocore Tungsten C String
• Wittner Ultra tailpiece with fine tuners
• Carbon Fiber Endpin
