Scherl & Roth SR85 Stradivari Professional Cello Outfit (4/4)

The Scherl & Roth SR85 Stradivari is a professional-level 4/4 cello built for advancing students, conservatory players, and serious orchestral musicians who have outgrown intermediate instruments. Modeled after the celebrated Stradivarius pattern, it pairs a hand-carved solid spruce top with well-flamed maple back and sides, then finishes the body in a hand-applied amber/red-brown oil varnish that deepens tone and gives each instrument a warm, traditional appearance. The result is a rich, resonant, and projecting voice with the clarity and responsiveness expected at the advanced tier.

Every SR85 cello is hand-adjusted in the Scherl & Roth USA workshop and arrives fully set up and play-ready, so educators and players can perform straight out of the case with no trip to the luthier. The instrument is fitted with an ebony fingerboard and ebony pegs, a select French maple bridge, and a composite tailpiece, and it is strung with premium Larsen A and D and Spirocore G and C strings for a balanced, focused sound across the entire range. This professional shop setup is what separates the SR85 from import instruments sold direct from the box.

Backed by Scherl & Roth's long-standing reputation as one of America's most trusted school and orchestral string brands, the SR85 ships as a complete outfit with a pernambuco bow, a padded carrying bag, and rosin, making it an excellent step-up choice for high school, collegiate, and community-orchestra cellists. As a respected line distributed through Eastman/Connolly, Scherl & Roth instruments are widely specified by string educators and recognized for consistent quality and reliable setup.
