My latest 'modern' cello inspired by the golden period Forma B by A.Stradivari,the 1712 ex Davidov - Jaqueline du Pré - Yo-Yo Ma), and slightly modified with a body length of 740mm and a 685mm string length (as found in many old English Celli) it's a very comfortable cello to play without compromising on performance.

The well seasoned tonewoods utilized is Italian Dolomite spruce for the front. And the sycamore back (= acer pseudoplatanus, european maple) from Orford near Aldeburg in Suffolk, from a beautiful large and deeply figurd tree I converted for tonewood in 1994 in the grounds of Orford estate.
The transparent and non antiqued oil varnish a warm golden orange with red-brown hues..

Its' sound is evenly balanced, responsive and powerful.
3 foremost professional British cellists have all complimented the quality of this recent cello.
