Ordered this gift for my dad, who loves model kits and tinkering with his hands. It ended up being the perfect spark to reignite his old passion. It’s definitely a bit technical and not something you breeze through in an hour, but that’s exactly what made it so satisfying for him. The instructions were detailed, and while a few steps took a bit of puzzling out, he found the process really engaging. The quality was sublime. Everything felt well-cut and sturdy, with a precision that made it feel like a premium kit. He did mention that a couple of parts needed a steady hand and some extra care during assembly, but overall, the fit was smooth and satisfying. It’s made from wood, which gives it a really warm and natural look once it’s finished. As for the final model, the cello has a cool design and a surprising amount of detail that makes it feel more like a little sculpture than just a model. It now sits on a shelf in the living room and is a conversation starter for guests. It’s one of those pieces that feels both classic and creative, and it really stands out in the best way. I’d say this is best for someone who enjoys a challenge and likes working with their hands, definitely not a rush job or something for really young kids. This is best for hobbyists or anyone looking for a hands-on gift. Read more

Bought this for a friends’ 50th b’day gift as he really loves cello’s and other musical instruments. He mentioned it wasn’t too difficult to assemble even though he was very careful and took his time. The design of the piece seemed great for his apartment located near the ocean. The gift was great for him, fit into his space, and didn’t cost me all that much money. I’m just glad he liked it, as it’s sometimes hard to figure out what to buy as the years go by! :) Read more

Great puzzle. It is both beautiful and frustrating. Got this as a gift for my 69 y/o father who was recovering from back surgery and loves puzzles. He was excited by the prospect of putting it together. But, It is mot for those who do not have nimble fingers or great vision. The pieces are incredibly small and so are the instructions. He has already broken some of the pieces but they are laser cut so there may be no replacing them. He is currently working on making sure the celo bow moves. Per him it takes much longer than expected and is a very delicate puzzle. Great gift but very frustrating for those without nimble fingers Read more

Extremely well made! They should get 10 stars. A number of extra parts in case you break one of the fragile ones. I needed them for the cello body. Very fragile and break easy. BUT a good idea I'd forgotten about. Woodworkers steam wood to make it easier to bend without breaking. I have a humidifier putting out a lot of mist. Held the body side in the mist for a few moments. Made it very easy to bend without breaking. Did have a bit of trouble with gears binding, but this was the first model from them and it was not there fault. Was so impressed with the quality and very clear instructions. Read more
