Cello - Edgar Russ, A.Stradivari "Mara", Cremona 2002 spinimages=12 All used wood comes exactly

All used wood comes exactly from the same origins as the Great masters from the 17th

I am impressed and my desire to make the original Mara again propped up in my mind

He works at home and Marco stops by from time to time to helps him to take care on specific important areas during the construction

It is the result of almost 40 years of violinmaking

When he had the opportunity to buy this original Mantegazza for 200000Euro 15 years ago

Cello - Edgar Russ, A.Stradivari "Mara", Cremona 2002 spinimages=12 All used wood comes exactlyThis is one of the few Stradivari "ex Mara" cellos I made. Few, because in late 2002 when I visited Carl Becker in Chicago, Carl gave me the advice to make my future cellos shorter and larger to obtain a better sound. Indeed once back from the US I modified this specific mould which became my "fat Mara" I used a lot in the coming years. It somehow happened that I could have this specific cello back a gain since the previous owner changed it to a 7 8
