Vinaccia Cello - 2010


 Commissioned by Hong Kong Strings

www.hongkongstrings.com


Although derived from a minor family of Neapolitan makers, this is one of my favourite models (and one of the most requested).

The outline has assured strength and elegance, whilst the arching, although quite full, is beautifully resolved.

It has big mellow sound which matches its appearance.

Cello back:  704 mm
