    Hand-made cello, 1977, by Edward Campbell of Chimney’s Violin Shop in PA.  It had one owner, Richard Maag, and the cello sat after he passed.  Some restorative work has been performed at Horvat Fine Violins here, with care taken to keep its Chimney’s Bridge as a tribute to the maker.  It has geared Boxwood pegs, a Horvat tailpiece, and it is going to find its voice again.  Mr. Campbell was a master luthier and winner of many VSA awards.

  • Quintus Carbon Fiber 3/4 size cello

    Quintus was one of only two makers that made 3/4 carbon fiber  cellos, and this is one from 2000.   Carbon fiber is resonant, durable, and immune to the hazards of temperature and humidity changes.   The fingerboard is composite and does not need planing; likewise composite pegs which don’t shrink or swell.   We have sold these to petite adults as well as kids over the years.
    Back length 680 mm
    Upper bout 310 mm
    Lower bouts 390 mm
    String length 640 mm.

    While it has a top plate with “purfling” of red pinstripe, the molded back & ribs are one piece with rounded edges and button, making it comfortable to play.
