Additional Information
Wood
We exclusively use a selection of high-quality tonewoods when crafting our instruments. The maple wood is most commonly of Balkan origin, but we also use locally sourced Italian maple, known as Oppio, which has a higher density and a distinctive greyish hue that lends itself well to antique-style varnishes. Our spruce wood for the soundboard comes from Val di Fiemme, where a unique microclimate fosters a regular growth pattern, making it renowned worldwide for its use in instrument making.Sound
The sound of this cello is warm and resonant, with a deep, full-bodied lower register that provides a rich, rich foundation. The mid-range remains smooth and lush, while the upper registers project with clarity and brilliance, offering a bright, singing quality. The cello responds effortlessly to the player’s touch, delivering a dynamic range perfect for both intimate phrasing and powerful expression.Varnish
The varnish we use is an oil-based varnish made with natural resins and pigments. Although the base formula has remained the same for several years, the results vary slightly each time, adding to the uniqueness of each instrument.
