One of my current, now finished, projects is to build this beautiful full size  studio cello. The ‘Ilja Grawert – Sound System’ has been applied… After the full size studio cello was varnished and set-up it still needed some fine adjustments, a lot of playing and figuring out which are the best strings to support its beautiful sound. Now that it is a very vibrant, ringing but warm and deep sounding cello I am very happy with it. It is time to change it from the pre-order price to the full price. Call or email me for playing this cello let it be for purchase or only to have a play.

On some of these photos I am preparing and painting the ‘Fleur De Lis’.

The little video clip is showing how balanced every part has to be to support the spreading of the vibrations over the whole top-plate and the rest of the body

The advantage of a pre-purchase order is a better price and you can take some influence on certain parts of the cello like choosing your own, tuning pegs, strings, tail-piece, strings and sometimes even the colour can be customised(No colour change possible anymore on this cello) . By choosing a playing style, and personal preference in tonal character as well as answering a few short questions about hand size and body size we will ensure a perfect fit for you.

Set yourself apart… and play one of these beautiful instruments
