Non-antiqued “straight” cello, built on the slender Stradivarian B form. This instrument was commissioned by the cellist Rosanna Evangelista, whose credit is to have chosen such a peculiar and attractive wood for back and ribs.

My second cello and the first baroque one, built for my teacher Barbara Bertoldi: customised in the purfling, under the button (with a “b” in italics) and in the head (resembling the owner’s dog).
