First Brand Cello MC760L | Full Size 4/4 Student & Professional Cello

First Brand Cello MC760L – Full Size 4/4

The First Brand MC760L is a full-size (4/4) cello engineered to deliver consistent tonal response and structural durability across a wide range of playing levels — from conservatory beginners to advancing intermediate players. Its laminated tonewoods provide dimensional stability in varying humidity and temperature conditions, making it a reliable choice for daily practice and performance.

Tonewoods & Construction

• Top (Soundboard): Laminated Spruce — selected for its high stiffness-to-weight ratio, the spruce top facilitates efficient vibrational energy transfer from the bridge to the body cavity, producing a warm, projecting tone with controlled sustain.
• Back & Sides: Laminated Maple — maple's dense grain structure provides excellent acoustic reflectivity, contributing to tonal clarity and brightness in the upper register. The laminated construction ensures resistance to cracking under humidity fluctuations.
• Purfling: Painted purfling channels along the top and back edges, providing structural reinforcement against edge splitting while maintaining the traditional aesthetic profile.
• Fittings: Rosewood tailpiece, fingerboard, and pegs — rosewood's high density and low porosity deliver smooth peg action and stable string anchoring, minimising tuning drift during extended play sessions.

Acoustic & Playing Characteristics

• Scale Length: Full 4/4 — standard 69–70 cm vibrating string length, compatible with all full-size cello strings (e.g., Larsen, Pirastro Chromcor, D'Addario Prelude).
• Tonal Profile: Balanced mid-range warmth with adequate upper-partial brightness; suitable for Baroque, Classical, and Romantic repertoire at the student level.
• Bridge: Pre-fitted, adjustable-height bridge for optimal string action setup.
• Nut & Saddle: Rosewood nut providing consistent string spacing and break angle over the fingerboard.

Included Accessories

• ✅ Cello Bow — Brazilwood or fibreglass stick with horsehair ribbon; suitable for beginner bowing technique development.
• ✅ Rosin — Standard amber rosin cake for bow hair preparation and optimal string grip.
• ✅ Soft Case — Padded nylon carry bag with shoulder straps for safe transport and storage.

Who Is This Cello For?

The MC760L is ideal for students transitioning from fractional sizes to full-size instruments, adult beginners seeking a complete setup without additional accessory purchases, and music schools requiring a durable, low-maintenance instrument for lesson use. Its laminated construction minimises the risk of damage from environmental changes — a practical advantage in the Indian subcontinent's variable climate.
