It is your talent and the right instrument that will help you leave an indelible mark on the music of tomorrow.

A good cello helps you as a cellist to improve your technique and musicality in a natural and self-discovering way.

We offer comprehensive support in your search for the instrument of your choice. We love to help you shape your musical future.

Listening to you may be our most important quality. We would love to hear the personal story of your history with the cello. Of course also your plans for the future. But above all, we like to dwell with you on the here-and-now.

  • How is your playing technique?
  • What characterizes your personal style?
  • What is your favorite repertoire?
  • Do you prefer to play solo or in an ensemble?
  • What kind of cello do you play now and what do you like about it?
  • And what makes that this cello no longer completely suits you?

And the most important question for us is:

  • What should distinguish your cello from all other cellos?

This we would like to discuss with you!

We do this with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to excellence. We understand that when you are looking for your ideal instrument, everything has to be right.

Our collection

With modern techniques, there is no reason to assume that a contemporary cello would be any less good than a cello from 1700. And this is something you really have to experience.

Our wide collection includes both old (vintage) and new (contemporary) cellos and bows. The Artisan Cello Gallery specializes in a fine selection in the €10,000 to €30,000 + price range.

Are you looking for a good, but cheaper cello?
