The Samuel Eastman VC100 Cello is a well-crafted student instrument designed to give beginning and advancing cellists a dependable response, comfortable playability, and a warm, clear tone.

Unlike fully laminated beginner cellos, the VC100 features a hand-carved solid spruce top and solid maple back, allowing the instrument to produce greater resonance and tonal depth. Laminated maple ribs add durability, making the VC100 especially well suited for students, school programs, private lessons, and everyday use.

Built on a traditional Stradivari pattern, the VC100 offers an even, balanced response across all four strings. Its genuine ebony fingerboard and pegs provide dependable performance, while the composite tailpiece with integrated fine tuners makes accurate tuning easier for developing musicians.

The cello is finished with a durable amber-brown high-gloss varnish and features genuine hand-inlaid purfling on the top. It comes strung with D’Addario Prelude cello strings, known for their stable pitch, clear response, and durability.

Available in sizes from 1/10 through 4/4, the Samuel Eastman VC100 is an excellent choice for students who need a properly constructed instrument that can support continued musical growth.

Finding the Correct Cello Size

The correct cello size depends on the player’s height, arm length, hand size, and physical comfort. Age can provide a general guideline, but it should not be the only factor used when selecting an instrument.

A properly sized cello should allow the player to sit comfortably, reach the fingerboard without strain, and maintain a relaxed position while bowing. Atelier’s string specialists are available to help determine the most appropriate size before purchase.
