With a background in cello studies, engineering and violin-making, and with several hundred of his fine instruments out in the world, John knows to make an instrument sound. This Strad model is beautiful to look at, like all of John’s instruments, but its main features are the luscious tone and power that comes from it with remarkably little effort. This is a professional cello in every sense of the word.

John is moving toward retirement after an illustrious and successful career. His cellos are reduced 25% to $15,000: an unheard of price for a cello made by a luthier of John’s status.
