Violoncello (D-Es-C-H) 2016

This cello was born on the 25th september 2016, the 110th birthday of a great musician and composer Dmitri Shostakovich, who composed very important works for cello players, and for his Jubilee the cello was named (D-Es-C-H), during the process of building i was listening for my favorite cello concerto no 1.

the cello is made by Antonio Stradivari 1710 Gore booth model and has the Caraman de Chimay coat of arms on the back side, this coat of arms was used on the string quartet made by J.B. Vuillaume called Caraman-Chimay quartet

I’v made for this cello a set of pegs from Palisander wood with 8 gold plated lilly’s covered by transparent enamel, four gold plated rings with 80 synth mounted diamonds and four 4mm yello Sapphires used as pins for this pegs.
