More Than Just Violins...

'Cello Progress




The Cello is am much larger instrument than either the violin or the viola, and represents a considerable commitment in both time and materials.


'Cello's can be made on commission in a wide variety of models, this model is a Montagnana: a Venetian maker of great repute renowned for full and powerful sound.

The instrument is nearing completion with the painstaking development of patina which enables the player to blend in with other quality instruments in orchestra and quartet.
