It's not easy to be patient while in the final stages of getting a cello put together so that it can make it's voice known. And what a pleasing voice it is! The C string is very rich, dark and robust while on the other end of the scale, the A string is direct and sonorous. A lot can change between now and when the instrument is varnished, appropriately set up and played in, but the initial results are quite promising. I think I will take it to class tomorrow and see how the other players react.
I heard this cello yesterday for the first time. I started it in the middle of the summer, and I will finish it later this spring.
