Frequently Asked Questions

The spruce wedge allows for a slightly thinner profile than a fully ebony fingerboard, resulting in a more immediate response and a lighter feel under the fingers – a characteristic of older baroque instruments.
While excellently made, the baroque setup and higher price point make it better suited for intermediate to advanced players familiar with baroque cello technique and a serious commitment to the instrument.
This Baroque model emphasizes warmth and historical authenticity, lacking the brighter, more powerful projection of a standard Stradivari; the gut strings contribute significantly to this difference.
