Description:

Cello 4/4 (full size) By Andreas Zeller. Made in Rumania for Stentor music Co LTD. Solid top, probably made in 1977.

Made in Approximately 1977 (see photos) and has a Solid top, the back and sides on inspection with an endoscope camera appear to also be solid but I have no proof of that as it is just my opinion.

You will note that this Cello is a 4/4 size (77 cm) and is approximately 43 years old according to the paper thing found in the pocket of the case where someone previously had written 1977 on the back of it.
It has an old crack in the top sound board at the base that does not affect it's sound, it sounds good.
There are the usual battered and chipped edges around the body by being laid on the floor over the years.
I have looked inside with an endoscope camera trying to determine if the back or sides are solid or laminate and my opinion is that I think the back may well be solid and the sides I have no opinion on them.
There are also many other chips and dings on this instrument.

I comes with a bow with some hairs missing and good quality padded black padded case with pockets and shoulder straps.

Please do you're own research on this.
