Cello, Vik Vandamme – Roeselare 2025
Vandamme personal model
It is truly inspiring to see a young violin maker working on his own personal cello model, and this is the first time this has been presented in Norway. Vik Vandamme worked in my workshop in 2019, and during the winter/spring of 2025, he made this cello for me. The cello was made in Vik’s workshop in Belgium under close supervision by yours truly. He has also varnished the cello with my own oil varnish in addition to the set up. This is the instrument for those who want a top cello at a very competetive price. Five Norwegian cellists already enjoy cellos made by Vik every day. See the previous cello Vik made in 2024.
If you pay a deposit of 10%, you get the first right to try the cello, but you have no obligation to buy. The cello can then be tried in peace and quiet for two weeks on home loan. I will return the deposit in full if you do not buy the cello. Please contact jacob@vonderlippe.com if you are interested in this cello, or have any questions.

Sound is the true reason for making instruments. In this recording the focus is on sound itself. Can a characteristic of sound be heard among instruments created by the same log of spruce and the hands of one specific violin maker, even if played by different instrumentalists? How do vastly different venues highlight various aspects of the same instruments? And how about the development of one violin maker through a span of twenty years?
