Friday July 19th to Sunday July 28th.
Guilden Morden, Cambridgeshire, UK
Having now completed most of the Guadagnini cello series I have been making for the last two years, these instruments will be available together to view, play and compare at my workshop and cottage in South Cambridgeshire.
Tea, coffee and cakes are free....
The instruments are very resonant, easy to play, and beautiful.
In conjunction with Fiddle Daemons, there will be a section of cello ( and other ) bows to try, and for sale. These include a very nice Charles Bazin cello bow, a period Dodd violin bow c. 1810, an interesting Cello bow, probably by Edward Tubbs, and an intermediate cello bow by William Tubbs along with bows by other makers. And new cello and viola bows by Andrew McGill.
The Bazin cello bow and the Dodd violin bow both have Guillaume certificates.
Please ask if you would like a full list of Instruments and Bows currently available.
In the workshop are instruments including cellos, in various stages of making, and my wood collection. I am more than happy to show visitors round and explain the various processes involved in making these instruments, from the initial stages to varnish and setting up to play.
........................................................................
Currently on the bench are two violas ( 15 " and 15 ⅝"ths) being varnished, a Guarneri model violin, and a Peter Guarneri model cello under construction, and a further Guadagnini model cello which will be finished in Baroque set up.
Any visitors arriving by train can be picked up at either Biggleswade, or Ashwell and Morden Station.
