  • Guadagnini 1777 replica

    This Guadagnini replica is carved of European spruce and maple.  It’s been set up here with ebony Pegheds, a French bridge,  ConCarbo French twill tailpiece,  NHM composite fitting for 10mm endpins, and Rondo strings.  Part of the appeal of the Guad is its very comfortable proportions and 682 mm string length, and then there’s the warm tone, resonance, and easy response.

  • Guadagnini replica

    Vivo’s copy of a 1777 Guadagnini, made of European tonewoods, has been a very popular cello for its price, performance, and comfort.  With many 4/4 cellos having string lengths that cause intonation or pain issues for cellists, this one has a shorter string length (685 mm), generous body proportions that work with the short back length.  We welcome you to experience this instrument.  It is set up with Pegheds, a Belgian bridge, ConCarbo unidirectional carbon fiber  tailpiece in the harp style for a longer vibrating C string length.  The fitting is a NHM for a 10mm endpin, and this cello’s sound gets the best reviews with either a 28″ CF or 24″ Cube Acoustics endpin, though there are other options.

    Back length    715 mm
    Upper bouts  335 mm
    Lower Bouts  420 mm

  • Horvat & Gunst

    From our Professional Series, we start with a European white cello, and our luthier takes over.  The top is removed and interior work performed by Damir Horvat, then it’s hand varnished for a beautiful finish.  Chuck Herin installs all our Pegheds.  The setup includes a ConCarbo unidirectional CF tailpiece, a Belgian bridge, Versum/Rondo Strings, and a NHM fitting for 10mm endpin (10 varieties of rod from which to choose).  This one is 4/4 (2013) but we also offer 7/8th size.

  • Horvat & Gunst 7/8ths size

    The H&G cellos are a specialty item, and we offer them in 7/8.  We start with a white European cello, the top is removed by Damir Horvat, regraduation and other interior work is performed.   It is hand-varnished in a unique color/shading, often at the request of the cellist ordering it.  PegHeds are installed, and setup will vary as there are so many options!  It is one of the larger 7/8 models and people often have a hard time deciding between a 4/4 Guadagnini and this model.  The 7/8 has a shorter distance from the top rib to the C peg, so the back is longer than a Guad but the string length is shorter!  This one has been sold, another is in the works.

  • Violin – German c. 1910-1945

    This lone violin is an exception here, belonged to a family member, and hopefully will find its new home through a cellist friend.  It is a German instrument c. 1910-1945s, based on a classic Cremonese Gagliano pattern.   Based on good quality of materials and craftsmanship, stable structural condition, good tonal quality, the value has been placed at $5,000.  It is paired with an Adolf Schuster*** pernambuco bow $1800.  It is outfitted with a new Bam St. Germaine III case.  Additional information and documentation provided upon request.  We prefer a local SC sale, but have a satellite presence in Charlottesville and Savannah which helps expand the audience.

  • Voirin copy

    Bow of unknown origin bears the stamp FN Voirin A Paris above the frog, with a second stamp France on the bottom of the stick near the slide.  The octagonal pernambuco stick has an engraved silver tip, full-lined frog, and button.  Weight 77.5 grams.
