About this instrument
Built, fitted and set up to play
The Canzona Milano 400 Series cello stands at the top of the Canzona lineup, offering the most refined tone, craftsmanship, and visual appeal. Designed for serious students and advancing players, the Milano features fully hand-carved construction with a select spruce top and beautifully figured maple back and sides, delivering greater depth, projection, and tonal complexity. A professionally hand-applied spirit varnish enhances the natural beauty of the wood while allowing the instrument to resonate freely. Ebony fittings—including fingerboard and pegs—provide smooth tuning and durability, while a Wittner tailpiece with four integrated fine tuners allows for precise, player-friendly adjustments. The cello is professionally strung with D’Addario Prelude strings and fitted with a 19.5" steel rod endpin with composite plug for dependable stability and performance.
Each outfit includes a graphite composite bow and an embroidered 10mm padded bag, ensuring the instrument is protected and ready for rehearsal, lessons, or performance from the moment it arrives. Available in sizes 3/4 and 4/4, the Canzona Milano 400 Series is an ideal choice for dedicated students seeking the most responsive and tonally rich instrument in the Canzona line.
Before leaving our shop, every Canzona Milano cello is carefully inspected and professionally set up by the expert luthiers at Atelier for Fine Stringed Instruments. The bridge and soundpost are precisely fitted, the fingerboard and pegs are adjusted for smooth playability, and each instrument is tuned and play-tested to ensure a comfortable feel, reliable tuning, and a clear, resonant voice from day one.

“Loving my new cello. It’s in its stand in our living room and looks like a beautiful piece of art! I tried uploading a photo, but it said it was too large a file! I contacted their Greenwich shop to make sure they were a legitimate shop….to be fair, there aren’t many reviews. The gentleman I spoke to was super calm and patient with me. He answered all of my questions and so I ordered the instrument soon after. It arrived in about 4 days and the box was a little beat up. I was hoping for the best, and that’s exactly what I got. An absolutely beautifully setup instrument! I could not be happier! Thank you Oscar for a truly wonderful experience! I’m a customer for life!”
