Scott Cao Stradivari Davidoff Cello

The "Davidoff" cello is based on an instrument by Antonio Stradivari from 1712. A fine example from Stradivari's golden period, it was named after Karl Davidoff, a prominent Russian cellist that Tchaikovsky referred to as the "Tsar of Cellists". The original cello was owned and played by Jacqueline Du Pre and was left to Yo Yo Ma upon her death. The Scott Cao "Davidoff" is carefully crafted from select tone-woods in the style of the original instrument and provides a fine, sweet tone.

Spruce top of fine to medium grain. Inlaid purfling. Two piece maple back with strong, medium flame. Ribs and scroll similar to back. Finished in an attractive reddish-brown on a golden ground and antiqued in the style of the original instrument. Outfits include #VACR7 Kaplan rosin, and your choice of case and bow. Made in China.
