Model inspired by Guadagnini
This rendition of the renowned 'Ngeringa' cello by G. B. Guadagnini showcases its notable attributes. It exhibits harmonious and robust lines, with meticulous attention given to the details around the neck and fingerboard to ensure playability for a wide range of cellists.
While the original cello was slightly smaller than the average modern instrument, we opted to enlarge it slightly to conform to contemporary standards. Nevertheless, its body length remains on the smaller side at 735 mm. We take great care in instruments that cater to a wide range of players.
