T. Slipek Cello

$26,000.00

Class: Master
Product Code: 8557

The maker, Tadeusz Slipek, among Poland's most respected contemporary makers, is known for combining classic Cremonese principles with his deep understanding of modern playing requirements. His instruments reflect both his training in the renowned Kraków school of lutherie and his extensive study of historical masterworks. While Jacobs himself was known for his expressive adaptation of Amati patterns and exceptional varnish work, Slipek has masterfully reimagined these elements to create instruments that offer both superior playability and sophisticated tonal qualities. The compact dimensions are executed with such skill that they enhance handling while maintaining the full tonal authority expected of a professional instrument.
