Full description
This stunning cello by Manuel Di Landa, crafted in 2021 in Cremona, is a masterful interpretation of Pietro Guarneri of Venice’s renowned models. Slightly antiqued, the instrument captures the elegance and tonal characteristics that make Venetian cellos so highly regarded. Pietro Guarneri’s cellos are celebrated for their generous, resonant sound, offering a perfect balance between depth, warmth, and colorful overtones.
Di Landa’s craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the refined arching to the precisely carved f-holes, which contribute to the instrument’s powerful yet expressive response. The rich oil varnish, with its subtly antiqued texture, enhances the natural beauty of the selected tonewoods while lending the cello a timeless character. The top is made of Italian spruce, carefully chosen for its tonal properties, while the back, ribs, and scroll are crafted from beautifully flamed maple, providing a striking aesthetic and reinforcing the instrument’s sonorous depth.
With its dark but luminous tone, sweet response, and remarkable reactivity, this cello is a testament to the Venetian tradition, reinterpreted through the expertise of a contemporary Cremonese master. A perfect choice for musicians seeking an instrument with a rich, nuanced voice and powerful projection.
