Our mission at Forte3D is to make professional-level instruments at a uniquely low price in order to increase accessibility to high-quality musical instruments for everyone. We've accomplished this with cutting-edge 3D printing technology and patented designs to build cellos in a groundbreaking new way.

Each cello at Forte3D is meticulously crafted to order and personally assembled by Alfred Goodrich, our founder and CEO. Due to this artisanal process, please allow up to two weeks for us to prepare and ship your cello. We prioritize quality above all else, ensuring that each instrument meets our highest standards.
