The John Cheng® Stradivari Cello Outfit from Shar Music brings together three exceptional instruments in one complete, performance-ready package — everything a serious cellist needs to play, practice, and perform at the highest level.

John Cheng® Stradivari Cello

The John Cheng® Stradivari Cello is a masterwork of tonal artistry and old-world craftsmanship, combining the finest aged tonewoods from China with meticulous workmanship and expert varnish work — all under the watchful eye of a European-trained master luthier. Modeled after the legendary Stradivari design, this cello captures the essence of the great Italian master and delivers the tonal qualities that have set Strads apart as the gold standard for design and acoustics: full-bodied warmth, sonorous brilliance, and exceptional response and balance across all registers.

Fine craftsmanship. Exquisite wood. Power and projection. Layers of tonal colors. Great setup and hand feel. Inspired appearance. These are the qualities at the heart of every great instrument sought-after by the world’s great artists. John Cheng® instruments are created by Shar in consultation with world-class players and well-known university teachers — crafted by hand in the tradition of the great Italian masters, and in the very best Chinese workshops.
