Extremely rare German-made 【BENEDIKT LANG MITTENWALD KARWENDEL】 old cello from 1987. This model is one of the higher-grade models in the BENEDIKT LANG lineup. Retail price: 820,000 yen Mr. Benedikt Lang was born in 1893 in Luby, Czech Republic, and continued to make instruments in Mittenwald, Germany, which is known as the home of violin making, where people from all over the world gather 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 for over 30 years since its production. Subjectively speaking, it has a lustrous sound with many overtones, bright and soaring high notes, powerful and dense punchy, rich and enveloping low notes. In addition, it responds quickly to bowing and has a good sound start, and 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 its performance, which is not found in new instruments of the same price. Please pick it up and experience its refreshing sound. Although there are some scratches due to aging, there is no damage that would hinder 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 this opportunity. Please check the photos carefully, and although it is a good product, please understand that it is a used item before purchasing.
