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.

Back length  760 mm
Upper bouts  360 mm
Lower bouts  445 mm
String length  700 mm

  • 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.

  • 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.
