"I'm very impressed with my Maestro cello. You're right, it really does ring; and yet the open A is not harsh. Precisely what I wanted to achieve though I didn't expect such a powerful sound and I only have perhaps 5 or six hours on it (yes my finger tips are sore as h***). 25 years ago I paid $7,500 for a Mittenwald cello, and it's very good cello but in my opinion my Maestro outshines it in every aspect. I was expecting to pay $15,000 for a suitable cello!" - B. Short
We have greatly improved our Maestro cello over the years, and the current version is by far the finest yet! Higher quality woods, expertly hand applied varnish, top quality ebony fingerboard, and a setup equal to that used on our Michael Todd and Kallo Bartok instruments - the StringWorks Setup™ (Photos shown reflect two varying varnish colors, available at times, inquire for current options)
Solid, carved maple back and sides, solid carved aged spruce top, hand applied oil varnish, slightly antiqued. Ebony fingerboard, Aubert Mirecourt bridge, Larsen A & D / D'Addario Helicore G & C OR Kaplan set.
Which to choose? The Maestro, as easily seen in the beautiful photos, features far more beautiful woods, more highly figured, which are aged longer than in the Artist and Virtuoso. The varnish is tastefully antiqued to bring out the beautiful qualities in the wood. Tonally, the Maestro is characterized as richer and fuller than the Virtuoso, with a singing A string that can easily handle the most advanced repertoire. Suitable for the discerning intermediate player, but perfect for the more advanced player, such as a college student majoring in music education. The Maestro has a mature, distinguished tone, and is perfect for chamber music as well. For a more soloistic instrument, take a look at the Soloist (aptly named!)

"The Maestro cello outfit arrived today and I'm very happy with it! Thank you! The cello is set up very nicely, easy to play, and for a new instrument has a lovely tone. The only comparable instrument I found to this one was made by a Judge Thomas (if I recall correctly) in 1935, and sold for $6,500. All the quality is there in the construction - even down to the purfling and the setting of the pegs." - M.M.
