Instruments & Bows

Regarded as the father of the modern Turin school, Giovanni Francesco Pressenda was certainly one of the great violin makers of the 19th century. This fine cello is a wonderful example of his command of the craft. With its one-piece back and brilliant flames

surrounding the entirety of the ribs, this cello is a prime example of an instrument that looks as good as it sounds. It possesses a magnificent and intense, yet honed, power from bottom to top. It has a wonderfully even tone and is immediate to respond.
