|
|
Can someone recommend a good solid cello pattern for me? I'm looking for something that can make a really good playing and sounding instrument.
I have had good results using the 1704 "Glennie" Strad outline and F-holes for my violins... I do well making the same pattern instrument over and over. I'd like to find something similar for cello.
Thanks,
Jeremiah |

Hi Jeremiah,
Have you looked at the posters that are available from Strad Magazine.
The have a poster of the Davidov cello that Yo Yo Ma plays. I think it is a "B" model cello.
Best Regards,
Les |

Hi Jeremiah,
The Davidov is an excellent choice. And yes, it is a b mold from about the middle of that time period. The 'Servais' (Might be the Stanline now that I think of it) is IIRC the last of the b-mold cellos. After than Strad went to the picolo b mold of which the best example is the deMunk (now played by Stephen Isterless). Another excellent choice would be the sleeping beauty (formerly owned by Igor Piategorsky).
