Heritage Series Amati Cello

Antonio & Hieronymus Amati, Cremona, c.1616 CI016 4/4 Only The Brothers Amati are considered to be two of Cremonas finest makers. Their work closely follows that of their father Andrea, the founder of the Cremona school. Their violins are typically femininely small while their tenor and bass instruments are more robust both in size and tone. The cello is typical of the Brothers Amatis work, although like all of their cellos it has been reduced in size. The cello was owned by Stephen Jocelyn (1960-2003), founder of The Sound Post Ltd.
