&#13;
Newly restored (new bass bar, no open cracks), it sounds fantastic, amazing projection, very sweet sound, and many colors! I have won a couple of professional auditions with it, and advanced rounds in many others. Perfect for young professionals and advanced students.&#13;
&#13;
Welcome to try around Bamberg, Nürnberg or Hamburg. I have included a video from 2020, but after restoration sounds even better and more open!&#13;

The warm red-orange varnish beautifully enhances the figure of the maple.&#13;
The cello has a powerful, generous sound with exceptionally easy response and projection. It speaks readily with very little effort, producing a round, warm and pleasant tone, with good presence and an even response across the strings.&#13;
The instrument is ideally suited for students and amateur players, while also making an excellent second instrument for musicians at the beginning of their professional career. &#13;
A well-balanced choice for anyone looking for a reliable cello with a generous sound and attractive appearance.&#13;
The cello is currently offered without a certificate. However, its provenance is supported by the Voinson luthiers in Nancy, who have confirmed that the instrument was made by D. Galand.&#13;
&#13;
The estimated selling price by the Voinson shop in Nancy is 15000€.</description><pubDate>Wed, 26 Aug 2026 14:39:12 +0100</pubDate><link>https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/fr/sales/21061</link><guid>https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/fr/sales/21061</guid></item><item><title>Masterclass Chamber Orchestra: Bach &amp; Mendelssohn</title><description>A course in ensemble playing is being offered.
