A beautiful antique full-size cello, possibly attributable by David Tecchler, one of the most respected historical cello makers active in Rome in the early 18th century. Instruments associated with Tecchler are admired for their craftsmanship, tonal richness, and rarity, and have long been appreciated by serious musicians and collectors.
This cello is especially notable for its exceptional sound. It has excellent projection, depth, and tonal color across both the upper and lower registers, with the kind of strength, responsiveness, and character that professional players often seek in a fine old instrument. It is powerful when needed, yet also capable of warmth and nuance.
Visually, the cello has a very appealing antique presence and the distinctive character that draws players to older instruments. A wonderful opportunity for an advanced player, professional musician, teacher, collector, or anyone seeking a fine old Italian-style cello.
