Cellos for sale

 

I have a really superb cello by William Forster - a straightforward example, signed by the endpin and with its original label, and in wonderful condition. Images here I also have an excellent cello by Thomas Kennedy. It is of standard size, with a back length of29 7/16 in. (749mm.) It is an extraordinary find, having been stored for very many years. It has its original label, and sounds very well.Images here £42,000.

Help! I've recently been taking three-quarter size cellos in part-exchange, and now I have too many. Therefore I'll accept any reasonable offers on these - they're all set up and playable, and one of them has a good bow with it.

I've an interesting smallish Saxon cello, dating from the late 18th Century. I wrote a blog about this, and images of it can be seen in that bit of my website.

I have two more nineteenth century French cellos and five nineteenth Century German cellos ranging from £2,500 to £6,800. I have a beautiful instrument by Paul Bailly, 1893. This cello, in wonderful condition, was Bailly's very first made in England, and is numbered 1. It has had only two owners from new. The last time it was sold was in 1950, and that was by the well-known English maker, Arthur Richardson. His original letter accompanies the instrument.

I have eleven new instruments of varying qualities ranging from around £1,500 to £5,000.
