Gaetano Sgarabotto, Milan, early 20th Century. Early in his career, Sgarabotto became famous for his reproductions of the classic Milanese masters such as Grancino and Testore. This cello is an excellent Testore copy. The cello is in excellent condition and has a full, warm tone.

Charles Adolphe Gand, Paris, 1854. Charles Adolphe was the second generation of the great Gand Dynasty. His father was Charles François, student and successor to Lupot. This magnificent cello is characteristic of the very high quality of his work, with rich ruby-red varnish. The tone is big, powerful, clear and forthright with great carrying power. Condition is excellent.

Alberto Blanchi, Nice, 1917. Blanchi has long been appreciated for his superb, flawless workmanship. This fine cello is in almost perfect condition and has a back and ribs of beautiful bird's-eye maple, giving it a very striking appearance. The tone is broad and warm with great character.

frères Schwartz, Strasbourg, 1838. Georges Frèdéric and Théophile Guillaume Schwartz were sons and successors to their father Bernhard. They worked together, but most of the instrument making was done by Théophile while his brother concentrated on bow making. Their work is highly respected and appreciated. This cello has an exceptional voice, huge, full and responsive. The varnish is dark red-brown with extensive craquelure.

Louis Guerson, Paris, c. 1760. Guerson was one of the most important French makers of his generation and his instruments are highly esteemed. Here is a wonderful opportunity to own a fine 18th Century cello at a price much more affordable than an Italian instrument of that period. Excellent tone.

French, Lupot label, circa 1850. Since we don't know who actually made this interesting cello, it represents an excellent opportunity for the musician who is not interested in an instrument with an important name attached to it (with a price to match). This cello has a nice full, dark, and sweet tone.

Luigi Agostinelli, Milan, 1957. We don't know who this interesting maker trained with, but it is clear from this cello that he was an excellent and skilful maker. Very fine, full and rich tone.

Jason Viseltear, New York, 2006. This young maker is developing an impressive reputation, especially among Baroque and early music specialists. This is a very interesting and attractive instrument and should be an excellent choice for an advanced conservatory student or aspiring professional.

Marcello Bellei, Modena, 2007. We were so pleased with the first cello we received from Mr. Bellei last year that we have ordered more. This is our second one. This gifted young maker trained with Renato Scrollavezza in Parma and has worked with a number of other important makers before opening his own workshop three years ago in Modena. This exceptionally beautiful cello exhibits superb workmanship and has a great tone. It's very exciting to find a young maker like this with such talent and skill.

Andrea Cappelaro, Verona, 2000.
Cappelaro studied at the violin making school in Cremona, later moving to Verona where he has continued to make fine instruments. Excellent tone and condition.

Giancarlo Stanzani, Bologna, 1990. Stanzani started when very young with Enrico Piretti before going on his own in 1958. Over the years he has won a number of awards and medals for his work. This cello has a beautiful dark golden red varnish over exceptionally beautiful wood.

Tetsuo Matsuda, Chicago, 1988. Matsuda is one of the most highly regarded contemporary American makers. While most of his instruments are heavily antiqued, this cello is one of his few varnished in a more traditional manner. Excellent condition and tone.

Ciciliati-Massari, Ferrara, 1997. This is a beautiful cello from the workshop of Alessandro Ciciliati with back and sides of stunning Italian poplar. Perfect condition and excellent tonal qualities.

Bernd Dimbath, Bubenreuth, 2006. This is a very striking instrument with back and side of highly flamed poplar. The tone quality is exceptional for an instrument in this price range.

Heinrich Th. Heberlein, Markneukirchen, 1930. The Heberlein workshop was renowned for the highest quality workmanship. This attractive cello represents an excellent value for the advancing cellist.

Old German, label of Gustave Bernardel.
