While the original cello was slightly smaller than the average modern instrument, we opted to enlarge it slightly to conform to contemporary standards. Nevertheless, its body length remains on the smaller side at 735 mm. We take great care in instruments that cater to a wide range of players.Share:
Additional Information
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.
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.
Back Length: 735 mm
Upper Bout: 355 mm
Center Bout: 245 mm
Lower Bout: 442 mm
