Tets Kimura Posted November 10, 2018 Report Posted November 10, 2018 That's an extremely handsome cello. Congratulations!
______ Posted November 10, 2018 Report Posted November 10, 2018 Very neat work, a great pleasure to look at it. Congratulations!
Ken_N Posted November 10, 2018 Report Posted November 10, 2018 Guy, That's very nice. The f holes are sheer perfection. What is it modeled after? I'm not familiar with Cello models much. It has an Amati look with the corners. Ken
hendrik Posted November 10, 2018 Report Posted November 10, 2018 Congratulations, what a beautiful instrument. Guy is it the Strad model that you have used a lot? I keep getting compliments about the 2010 Lord Wilton model violin including the sound. One from a top luthier in Canada.
catnip Posted November 10, 2018 Report Posted November 10, 2018 Absolutely beautiful, especially the scroll, f-holes, and varnishing. You are an inspiration.

Nick Allen Posted November 10, 2018 Report Posted November 10, 2018 Simply beautiful. Seeing it in the flesh was inspiring.
Jeff Jetson Posted November 10, 2018 Report Posted November 10, 2018 I wonder if there is a feeling of sadness after selling a extra fine instrument such as this after putting so much time and labor into it.

Well, I make my living and support my family by making and selling instruments. Also I take great enjoyment in hearing them in concerts being used by string players. But I do like it when my instruments visit my workshop for a check up ~ it's like seeing an old friend. : )
Urban Luthier Posted November 11, 2018 Report Posted November 11, 2018 What a beautiful cello! Is this one similar to the one you exhibited in Toronto last year?

Urban Luthier Posted November 11, 2018 Report Posted November 11, 2018 very nice! I remember the cello you exhibited in Toronto very well - It looked fabulous and sounded just as nice -- highlight of the show for me
christian bayon Posted November 13, 2018 Report Posted November 13, 2018 Beautiful cello, warm colour and strong style!

That exhibition in Toronto was such an enjoyable event too. So many players came to see the instruments and for many of the violin makers it was the first time to have their work exhibited inToronto.
Guy Harrison Posted March 24, 2019 Author Report Posted March 24, 2019 Here's my copy of the 'Dushkin' Guarneri 1742 that I made in 2013. It came back to my workshop because the owner preferred his Strad copy from me, so I updated the violin with a new bridge and soundpost. Since last week, it found a new home with its next violinist!
