{"product_id":"scherl-roth-sr85-stradivari-cello-not-set-up","title":"Scherl \u0026 Roth SR85 Stradivari Cello (Not Set Up)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Scherl \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; Roth (distributed by Conn-Selmer) is a brand that directors, private teachers, and string shops specify with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-crafted, fully-carved 4\/4 professional cello on the classic Stradivari pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid hand-carved spruce top for strong projection and tonal complexity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell-flamed maple back and sides for a warm, resonant voice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-applied red-brown oil varnish that ages beautifully\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium ebony fingerboard and ebony pegs for durability and smooth tuning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelect French maple bridge and composite tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-strung with Larsen A\/D and Thomastik Spirocore G\/C strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips 'Not Set Up' (instrument only) for final fitting by your luthier or string shop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for advancing students, school programs, and pre-professional cellists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\/4 professional cello, Stradivari pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid hand-carved spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-flamed maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVarnish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-applied red-brown oil varnish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePegs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Select French maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Composite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Larsen A\/D, Thomastik Spirocore G\/C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not Set Up - requires final fitting\/adjustment by a luthier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\/4 (full size)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScherl \u0026amp; Roth SR85 Stradivari 4\/4 cello (instrument only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Scherl \u0026 Roth","offers":[{"title":"4\/4","offer_id":46386629738693,"sku":"SNR-SR854","price":6239.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3085\/3829\/files\/ScherlRoth-SR85-Cello_69053e15-34b1-44d9-9edc-2b33e86e3f5c.png?v=1781722102","url":"https:\/\/avlgear.com\/products\/scherl-roth-sr85-stradivari-cello-not-set-up","provider":"AVLGEAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
