However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
Archer 44C-500 Full Size Cello by Gear4music produces rich tone and a pleasant playing experience for the advancing cello player. With a traditional carved solid spruce top with flamed maple back and sides, a hardwood bow and protective lightweight hard case, you have everything you need to evolve your cello sound.
Product Ref: 8178
With traditional, hand carved construction and flamed Maple back and sides, the Archer 44C-500 4/4 Size Cello is an all solid wood instrument, sporting a hand carved Canadian Spruce top and figured bookmatched Canadian Maple back. For the developing cellist, this means ease of playability and rich tone.
The Archer 44C-500 4/4 Cello continues to build on its traditional roots with a Maple neck. With its ebony fingerboard, progressing players will be able to replicate deft fingering patterns and experience the type of response to their touch that will encourage them onto more innovative techniques.
The cello comes with everything the beginner needs to get playing straight away. The bow, made from hardwood, is easy to use and robust, meaning it will withstand the stresses of students learning proper bowing techniques. A half mounted frog and Ebony adjuster make it easy to use and comfortable to hold.
The canvas covered case is easy to carry and provides reliable protection for the instrument. Wheels on the bottom mean it can be rolled around and shoulder straps mean it can be put on your back with ease. Pockets both inside and out are handy to store the included rosin and other accessories.

Case:
"Well built and well presented, these instruments should encourage those young cellists fortunate enough to play them. After all, the better the initial experience a pupil has, the more likely they are to succeed in the long term."
"The Archer model represents good value to either music services or individuals looking for a solid wood instrument."
Andrew Bound, ZONE Magazine
