Cello based on Matteo Gofriller
This is a resonant cello with a rich lower end, with plenty of growl. The sound is well supported sound, is even across the strings, whilst the top retains width and quality as you go up the A string.
Model
Venetian cellos, especially by Gofriller and Montagnana are widely held to be equal or better than their Cremonese contemporaries. Like many Venetian cellos, this is quite a wide instrument, which gives power and a resonant bass. The body is slightly shorter than average, with a normal neck length, stop and string length.
