The Franz Hoffmann® Amadeus Laminate Cello Outfit is the ideal first cello for young students — built to secure your child’s first success and protect your investment in their musical future. Every Franz Hoffmann® instrument is engineered to give students a controlled learning experience from the very first lesson, and the Amadeus Cello is no exception.

The Amadeus Cello is constructed with a crack-resistant laminated body — a smart, practical choice for young players and active households. Unlike solid wood instruments that can be vulnerable to humidity changes and the bumps of daily student life, the laminate construction is built to last, maintaining its playability and appearance through years of practice. A beautiful nitro varnish finish gives it a warm, professional look that belies its student price point.

Inside, it’s set up to perform: an ebony fingerboard, quality fittings, and D’Addario Prelude strings combine to deliver a full, responsive cello tone that encourages students and impresses teachers. Professionally adjusted by Shar Music’s expert luthiers in Ann Arbor, Michigan, it arrives ready to play — no additional setup needed.

This complete outfit includes:

• Franz Hoffmann® Amadeus cello with crack-resistant laminate construction and nitro varnish
• Ebony fingerboard and quality fittings
• D’Addario Prelude strings
• Quality fiberglass bow with genuine horsehair
• Lightweight padded bag
• Cake of rosin

Available in sizes 4/4, 3/4, 1/2, and 1/4. When you choose Franz Hoffmann®, you’re choosing an instrument backed by over 60 years of Shar Music expertise — a teacher-trusted choice that gives your child every advantage as they begin their musical journey.
