Cellos: Tpa Header

As one of Oxfordshire's well known Luthiers, I am proud to feature some of my own handmade cellos, alongside some individual older cellos and new student instruments.

We have listed a small selection of our cellos here, but we always hold a wider range in our shop for all student levels with most priced between £600 - £6000. I also stock a wide selection of bows, from student to master.

We always recommend that you visit our shop to try out our instruments and bows.

If you have any particular requirements, please do get in touch.

Thomas Kennedy 1828, with original label. Signed and dated by Thomas Kennedy (positioned on the top left of the inside back).

Thomas Kennedy made some of the most superb sounding cellos ever and this is certainly one of them.  It is a superb chamber/solo instrument with an exceptional tone quality throughout the whole spectrum of the instrument.

If you are interested in buying a Kennedy, please do make contact with me.

This is a Montagnana model and the stunning honey-coloured varnish is crackled and opaque.  David Collins was a local Oxfordshire Luthier and very prolific.

This is one of the most outstanding tonal cellos that I have seen and heard in long time.
