Jay Haide L’Ancienne Montagnana Cello - 4/4
The Jay Haide L’ancienne Cello is hand-made of quality seasoned maple and spruce, and is a great choice for the aspiring player. These cellos embody the tonal qualities and workmanship normally found in instruments at a much higher price.
The Jay Haide models are brought to you after years of development. The varnish is a new formulation, carefully applied and beautifully antiqued giving each instrument the patina of age, so desired by both musicians and connoisseurs. They are as beautiful tonally as they are visually.
The Jay Haide L’ancienne has been designed for the advanced student and professional who needs an instrument that will compliment and enhance their artistic style.
All Jay Haide instruments enter the Bows for Strings workshop as a blank canvas, and are treated to the full Bows for Strings advanced professional set-up to achieve the best sound and playability for the instrument.
This process includes adjustment to the fingerboard and nut. fitting Bows for Strings selected pegs, a Despiau bridge of highest quality (3 tree) hand cut in our workshop, and a soundpost made of well-seasoned spruce by Pahler of Germany.
Cello set-up is completed with a Wittner tailpiece and Larsen Original strings.
PLEASE NOTE: the image for this listing shows the Stradivarius model which features a narrower body than the wider Montagnana pattern. Please contact us for photos of the Montagnana cello.
