      tone so effortlessly that I would rather play on it than on my own wooden 
      cellos. Also, I find the unique shape of the instrument helps solve a number 
      of physical problems associated with cello playing like tired bow arm and 
      the pain caused by neck stress due to the C tuning peg.?
