Stradivari

Heritage Series Stardivari: Named after the Russion virtuoso Karl Yul’yevich Davidov who owned the cello in about 1885. The instrument was later played by Jacqueline du Pre.

Our Heritage Series instruments are issued with a certificate of origin. Strings are available separately.

Du Pre’s teacher, William Pleath, was with her when she tried out the cello, and recommended it to her as “one of the really great instruments of the world”.

„The quality of sound is remarkably clean & you can clearly hear all the overtones. Harmonics are very pronounced and ring out perfectly with great depth and excellent sustain‟ „The Sinfonica is not a “production line” model, but one that is hand built. Not only is the Sinfonica made from quality tone woods, but there is a staggering attention to detail on this instrument. For example, the rubber foot is screw threaded. The pin is held in place by a nylon insert and brass collar and yacht wire is used to hold the tailpiece to the peg – a true sign of a quality instrument.‟ „Highly recommended.‟
