Stradivarius violoncello

  This is a Stradivarius cello, now known as the Servais Stradevarius. It is known as one of the finest violoncellos ever crafted and was made within 40 years of my birth, so the style of it is very similar to the models I would've been playing. It is a strumento molto bello, and as violoncellistas dream of playing instruments of this caliber, as did I when I was a performer.
