Your next cello?
Cello under construction – it can be yours!
I have just started making this cello and you can follow the progress on this page. Inspired by the previous cello which was sold after one hour of testing to a professional cellist in the Lahti Symphony Orchestra, I have started the next one. This cello will be finished during spring/summer 2023 and you could become the lucky owner! Read more about the waiting list here .

PERSONAL MODEL
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
The cello is built on my personal model, which gives a powerful, overtone-rich and projecting sound. After 20 years, I have found a very special one piece back in beautiful maple from my wood storage. The top is made of first-class Italian alpine spruce. New photos from the construction process are posted here continuously.
All that is needed is a deposit of 10%, and you have no obligation to buy. You can try out the cello for two weeks once it has been completed. Feel free to drop by the workshop over the next few months to see the cello being made and have an espresso.
WHAT DOES THE CELLIST SAY ABOUT THE PREVIOUS CELLO I MADE?
“Now, after playing the cello for 3 1/2 months the sound has got warmer and deeper. It has a very strong core to the sound and it projects very nicely to the hall. It responds easily and has a lot of power when needed. The sound is very even from the low C to the highest positions on the A string. The cello is still changing a bit every day, as if it had had its own will. This is of course because it is still brand new and due to the climate getting dryer and dryer, the Winter is just around the corner.
It is very exciting and interesting to see what will happen to this wonderful cello and how it is going to turn out, but I have great expectations of it.
It is a great every day pleasure to play this wonderful and extremely beautiful cello.
Many thanks and congratulations to you, Jacob!”
