Very happy of the Anthony Marwood concert’s review in London,  with the  LPO at Royal Festival Hall under Andrew Manze. Anthony was playing on the Carlo Bergonzi I made for him.

Cool. Thanks!

Too bad it's out of print. Always the case...

I love the outline. I think it's the most elegant of any cello design that I've come across. 

 

Hey Nick,

I have the OTHER Montagnana poster from 1740, I wanted the 1739 Sleeping Beauty too. Was not in stock.  But I just looked, and it is there in stock.  I don't know what's different.  The one I have isn't a small model; it is 751 mm long.  I've made a couple Montagnana pattern violins.  They are a bit different.

I like to drop buy and see what kind of eye candy Christian is showing.

Yeah. I saw that. I'm not very interested in the wider "Sleeping Beauty" model. I managed to find a copy of the smaller one in the shop while digging through drawers. 

I've been told not to try and make the bigger one as a first venture in cello making, as it's more complicated compared to something more conventional.

Yeah, I looked up the numbers of the Sleeping Beauty this morning.  I saw the other day that it's 10 mm or so shorter, so I thought that it was smaller.  But it is OUTRAGEOUSLY wide.  The 1740 has nice looking, full arches.  I haven't studied them yet.  And as you said, the shape is very nice.

Hah!  I found that I have the article about the 1740 cello from the Strad.  It IS the Isserlis instrument. Cool.
