| Here is a wonderful 1696 Stradivarius cello, made by Chow & Sons workshop in Beijing. I must say this is a very successful copy and many of our teachers were impressed with the nice big tone this cello produces. This cello would be suitable for those who prefer a non-antique type of varnish, preferring to let the cello’s inherent beauty shine.
TO START, it is an oil varnished, and the varnish is made by one of our client-luthier-supplier in Italy. Even we do not know the exact formula. But we are blessed because of its easy availability to us. This cello is a no nonsense oil-varnished cello suitable for most professionals. Antiquated slightly for that fine touch, it is a cello with a lot of charisma. In old China, many houses are torned down to make way for new construction and the spruce that is used on these torned down houses can be used for making violins and cellos. We’re lucky to acquire some of these very special aged wood, each of at least 50 years old, to be used to make one of our best models. Enjoy! |

Professinal Level Instrument (4/4)
With baroque bridge, baroque fingerboard, baroque tailpiece, baroque neck This is made by Diao, our Chinese violinmaker and is a copy of a late 17th century viola, labelled with Maker’s Signature with year and location Sebastian Klotz, in Mittenwald, An. 17**
About Baroque music and how different it is from classical music The Baroque ideal is an arch of sound, appropriately well-sustained and well-proportioned. For Baroque music to get airborne,the line must soar. The bow is like the breath of a singer. To quote Donington : “Phrases generally go to a peak note, which is often though not always the highest note, and then relax to a note given away at the end. There is the unit; that much, and no less nor more, is the phrase; and it is for our own musicianship to recognize the fact. Nothing in the notation and nothing in the historical evidence, is going to show us the pattern if our own musicianship does not.” To achieve this, the modern violinist (with modern instrument) would have to slow down the bow, use less of it, and play into the string with the hair a little flatter and near the bridge. Why are Baroque instruments always so expensive. Because modern violinmakers no longer makes baroque instruments actively, those who do make them charges a high premium for it. Those customers whom I have spoken with actively will know I’ve spent over 1 year searching to make an accurate copy of baroque instruments. After much experimentation, I’m happy to say our current copy is a rather accurate one. If you open up the cello, you will see that even our bass bar is set differently from traditional modern cello. Buyers, however, should take note there are many many version of baroque instruments. There’s no real standard for it, only a more commonly available one. Our baroque instruments has been tested and examined by 8 baroque orchestral players from Spain, UK and NY, and has been acceptable by their standards. Measurements (in mm) Top: 167. Middle: 110. Bottom: 207. Body Length: 357. (For string playing length and neck length, please refer to the photos of the exact viola.) |

| Now you can truly experience this instrument in a baroque way!

| The best feature about this viola is the powerful bright tone and the outstanding antiquating. For this new viola, the antiquating technique used is certainly thumbs up. This is made possible by the oil varnish that we buy from our luthier friend in Italy, who has taught us greatly. Matching maple, sides, neck and scroll make this a beautiful masterpiece. The response is very very good on this viola, so players will be able to master fast strokes easily. Don’t miss this outstanding viola. Professional level. Made by single luthier from start to finish. | |
