Showcasing our inspired copy of a 1690s Joseph Filius Andreae Guarneri Cello, it is based off of the pattern from the early to mid period of his life which has a shorter body length, but with rounder and wider bouts—giving a square overall shape.

The top plate is made of spruce from Val di Fiemme (Dolomites) with medium-wide grain. The one-piece Slab-cut back of Bosnian maple with elegant, subtle flames is something special as it truly shows off the beauty of the outline as well as the generous full arching.

The oil-rosin varnish is of red-brown color on a golden-brown ground and emphasizes the old patina that sits in the recesses of tool marks, showing the quick and free workmanship that is attributed to the Guarneri Family.

The scroll of this instrument is somewhat on the smaller size which emphasises the overall delicacy of the fine work that goes into carving a scroll—it displays tool marks that have trapped varnish and patina, giving a warm and soft appearance, but also showcasing the boldness of the pegbox.
