From the workshop of Michael Goronok in Cleveland, 1997, this David Mahov cello is looking for a new cellist. It has had some restoration done, and is likely on its way to get PegHeds installed soon. A comfortable and responsive cello comes with an Alfred Knoll silver-mounted pernambuco bow (octagonal), and a new Carlisle light-weight case.
Back length 757 mm, String length 692 mm, Upper Bouts 345 mm, Lower Bouts 440 mm
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 twill 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. Strings are Peter Infeld AD with Rondo GC.
