Nicolò Amati cello 1642 poster

£22.95
One of only seven surviving cellos by Nicolò Amati, this is one of the few Baroque cellos that has never been altered or cut down. Now played by British cellist Jamie Walton, it is a stunning instrument in an excellent state of preservation.
 
'This extraordinary instrument from 1642 is striking in every possible way: the sculpture of the full and powerful archings; the simple and elegant edges; the balance of the design of the f-holes; the elegance of the scroll cut; and the varnish, from which the observer’s eye cannot detach itself' - Alberto Giordano in the February 2026 issue of The Strad.

Antonio Stradivari ‘Saveuse’ cello 1726 poster

£22.95
The 1726 'Saveuse' is one of the smallest cellos ever to come out of Antonio Stradivari's workshop.

It remains in almost perfect condition and provides a fascinating insight into the mind of Stradivari the innovator.
