I wanted to reach out to you both to share my gratitude for the Szlachtowski cello. It's been a game changer settling into this instrument. I am so happy with it. Thanks also for all the love poured into setting it up, it comes through and sounds beautiful. I'm also grateful for how helpful you both were in this process.

The cello is beautiful and is indeed “cooperative” as you said. The shorter string length is more comfortable and I was able to play in a more relaxed manner. Even my bowing is more relaxed because the string length better suits the length of my short arms! I was surprised at how quickly I was able to adjust to playing on the shorter strings.

I just gave the new bow a trial run. It is wonderful!!! Thank you for the advice, and especially for the suggestion to get the Stringvision bow grip. OMG, I wish I had tried one of these months ago.

Dear Anne and Linda,

Thank you so much for your assistance in obtaining this wonderful tailpiece. It has been installed and has resulted in a world of difference. The fine tuners are excellent, but most impressively the upgrade in the overall resonance of the instrument is amazing, especially in the upper range. The sound is full, clear, projected...everything we could hope for.

I wanted to let you guys know how happy I've been with the cello I purchased from your store. I chose the Vivo Etude and it meets all of my needs as a beginner cello player. I spoke with Anne on the phone, and she made the process choosing a beautiful case to go along with my new instrument very easy. I will undoubtedly go through you guys again for all of my future cello needs.

Your careful listening and attention to detail in setting up and putting together the cello, bow and case is appreciated. You made me feel like my business is as important to you as any customer’s. That hasn’t always been my experience elsewhere.

It's been several months now since I bought my cello, and I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the instrument. The idea of buying a cello online seemed a bit risky to me, but having the ability to hear the instrument, see so many detailed pictures of it and read such a thorough review on your website gave me the confidence to take the risk and have it shipped.

Everything everyone has said is true, absolutely true. There is no place better, no studio, no workshop, no string shop better than Linda, or anyone in the trade who knows more or is more honest and forthright.

I love the case! It is so amazing to see my cello fitting perfectly inside. And it is so light! Thank you very much for your help and figuring out which case would be right for me and my cello. I have a rehearsal tomorrow, and I'm really looking forward to just moving around in the world with a case that doesn't hurt my body.

Just a follow up that my son is very pleased with his cello! He absolutely loves the geared pegs!!!

The cello is absolutely beautiful and I’m already enhancing skills that I didn’t know I had! She sounds absolutely amazing and I’m so glad to have found her. Thanks to you both for matching me with my cello soulmate.  I can’t put her down - I don’t remember the last time I actually enjoyed playing this much :)

The cello came on Friday and it shipped perfectly. It was even still reasonably in tune so I don’t think anything budged. It has been amazing! My bow is working well with it for now but definitely will want to upgrade. You and Linda have been the best. Please take care and I’m sure I’ll talk to you two soon!

Many many thanks for my new cello! I ordered this as a rank beginner and you expertly helped me pick a perfect cello from the opposite side of the country and sight unseen at that. The tone rocks, it's full and very loud.

I just wanted to update you: after having a week to get acquainted, my daughter has proclaimed that she really loves her new cello. I am grateful to have had your help in selecting it, and the bow to go with it. I would not have felt comfortable purchasing otherwise.

Many thanks!

Ahhh, that wonderful German engineering has the case fitting my cello like a glove. Thanks for the information on the bow holders. Thanks for all your help too. When I close the case, it’s like closing the door of my friend’s Volvo instead of 1970’s Volkswagen! Of course, you are now my “go to” source for my students!
