The MMX Student is the ideal choice for advanced students or young professional cellists on a budget as it represents unrivalled value for money. Each instrument is carved by hand in the MMX workshop to exacting standards.
Each cello has a spruce top with a two-piece maple back and sides. The body is finished with an oil varnish to provide protection and an attractive sheen whilst allowing the natural qualities of the wood to show through. It is furnished with ebony fittings and an integrated tailpiece. Before leaving our warehouse, the bridge and soundpost are carefully positioned and adjusted by our team of string specialists which helps to get the best possible resonance and tone from the cello. The instrument is then strung with a set of deluxe D’addario Prelude or Alphayue strings and the action adjusted further if necessary.
All our MMX Student series instruments are supplied as an outfit that includes a padded gig-bag, carbon composite bow, and rosin. We normally have a selection of these instruments in our showroom, so please drop in or give us a ring if you’d like to try one out.
The MMX range
MMX has been working with master luthier Guofang Wang and his family workshop for nearly a decade, producing a broad selection of orchestral stringed instruments. For the beginner, the Student series of violins, violas, and celli offer the best start in the playing journey right through to our Signature instruments, which are perfectly at home in professional orchestral and solo work.
Attention to detail
Each instrument is diligently cared for at every stage of the production process, ensuring incredible value for money at each price point. Attention to detail is at the heart of every MMX violin, viola, cello and double bass. The tone wood panels are sourced from the forests of Sichuan or Yunnan province and seasoned to increase their strength.
The lustrous oil-based varnish is mixed to exact specifications to create a desirable antique finish which enhances both the grain and resonance of the instrument bodies. Even the fittings used are carefully selected to suit the instrument perfectly.
Exceptional craftsmanship
From the materials used to the way they are carved, fitted, and assembled, MMX aims to deliver instruments that will surpass all expectations!
