Description
The Scherl & Roth SR85 Stradivari is a hand-crafted, fully-carved 4/4 professional cello built for advancing students, conservatory players, and serious orchestral musicians who have outgrown a laminate or student-grade instrument. Patterned after the celebrated Stradivari model, it pairs a solid hand-carved spruce top with well-flamed maple back and sides, then finishes the body in a warm, hand-applied red-brown oil varnish that deepens in color and character over time. The result is a responsive, full-bodied cello voice with the projection and tonal complexity expected at the advanced and pre-professional level. As a trusted name in American string education for generations, Scherl & Roth (distributed by Conn-Selmer) is a brand that directors, private teachers, and string shops specify with confidence.
This particular SR85 is offered as the bare instrument in the 'Not Set Up' (in-the-white-of-setup) configuration: it ships as the cello only, without a bow or case, and is intended for a luthier or qualified string shop to perform final fitting, bridge cutting, soundpost adjustment, and string installation to the player's preference. The instrument is dressed with premium-grade appointments throughout, including a solid ebony fingerboard and ebony pegs, a select French maple bridge, and a composite tailpiece, so the violinmaker has a high-quality platform to finish to exacting standards. This makes it an excellent choice for dealers, schools, and shops that prefer to control the final setup in-house, as well as for players working directly with their own luthier.
Built to take a professional shop setup, the SR85 Stradivari is strung from the factory with Larsen A and D and Thomastik Spirocore G and C strings, a proven combination prized for warmth, clarity, and stable tuning across the full range of the cello. With its carved tonewoods, refined fittings, and Stradivari-pattern body, the SR85 delivers the rich, projecting sound and playing comfort that advancing cellists need to grow, making it a smart, long-term investment for school music programs and individual musicians alike.
