C Cellos For Sale - Descriptions

Alain Brule 2004 $4000
In the late 1990's, we acquired some very nice, seasoned wood from northern British Columbia. We stickered it for another few years, then had a cello made for us from it. We used poplar for the back as both Melissa and I like the sound and short break-in time that are peculiar to poplar backs (a number of Italian makers, including Stradivari, used poplar for backs). The resulting cello was purchased almost immediately by a fine youngster who eventually used it to solo with his youth orchestra. Recently he traded it back for something very expensive. This cello is a personal favorite of mine: its projection capabilities are almost off the map. I've personally tried it in an orchestra, against a big piano and playing chamber music. It's tone is lovely: rich and deep, and it can play as softly and expressively as you want, but make no mistake about its power. A Strad model in excellent condition.
