CELLOS BY ZACHARY TAYLOR

Melissa and I are excited to announce that we are now carrying cellos by one of America’s premier makers, Zachary Taylor. A native Vermonter, Zach graduated from the North Bennet Street School of violin-making in Boston (in half the normal time while still making well more than the required number of instruments). He has worked as an assistant for Jon Moroz in Burlington, VT and has built instruments for Ray Melanson in Massachusetts.

Zach’s instruments, which now number over 60, have been purchased by musicians throughout the United States, many through major shops in California, New York City, Oklahoma and Minnesota. He is also an excellent musician, which no doubt contributes to the fine sound he builds into each of his instruments.

Cellos have become more and more of Zach’s focus and his expertise at making concert-quality cellos has been personally endorsed by such luminaries as Janos Starker and Sharon Robinson.

We’re proud to announce our association with this highly respected maker who is also our friend and neighbor. Because of the great demand for his cellos, we can’t promise to always have one in the shop (at this writing we just received our first), but Zach is steady and efficient as well as tremendously skilled and has promised to keep us as well-supplied as possible.

Call or email if you’re interested in a true concert-quality cello by Zachary Taylor. See one of his cellos in the Premier Collection.
