It is with great pleasure that I present my collaboration with the talented violin maker Vik Vandamme. He worked in my workshop a few years back, and during 2022 he made this cello for me. The cello is built from materials from my abundant stock; Italian Alpine spruce, a very special full willow back, European flamed maple sides and a maple neck that is elegantly joined to the willow neck. The cello is built over my personal cello model, developed over twenty years.

Vik Vandamme built the cello in his workshop in Belgium, under the close supervision of the undersigned. When the cello arrived at my workshop wood white, I continued with my self-composed oil paint and rigged it up so that it would fit like a glove with its future cellist owner. Thanks to the entire base of willow, the cello has a dark and glossy tone with fullness throughout the register.

The cello is set up with Spirocore Wolfram C + G and Larsen Soloist A + D. This is the instrument for those who want the taste of a von der Lippe cello, but at a very competetive price.

The cello is being sold on behalf of its skilled owner who has played it for a year, but has now upgraded to the latest von der Lippe cello. It has therefore been recorded, feel free to click through the images below to see more of the cello. Sold with certificate.

The cello has been sold to a freelance cellist in Eastern Norway.
