    I wish there was a way to like this video a zillion more times. I just love her whole attitude, musicianship and love for the cello and baroque music. It’s inspiring. I even went out and got myself a small cello and restrung it as a tenor violin too! I hope she makes more videos like this. Can’t get enough. ♥️

    So jealous! Wonderful instruments. That church bass is so fascinating! 😳

      It has such a sweet sweet sound too! It was literally in pieces when I bought it, but now works well! Very hard to play though....

      @@elinorfrey Where/with whom do you usually play the Prescott? Is there any specific kind of music the church bass lends itself to?

    What a wonderful collection and how great to have a choice of instruments! I kept my son's little 3/4 cello and use that for my early music group. I've been trying some synthetic strings but haven't liked the effect so far. Hope to see more videos from you soon!

    Love your instrument collection, I hope mine expands further in years to come. Out of curiosity, what repertoire do you enjoy playing with your church bass?

    BRAVA! So much to delight, thanks for sharing! My first cello was a Prescott that my parents bought for $200 in 1965 from a local guitar maker who had “restored” it after a heavy case had been dropped on it in a museum. It was very different from the church basses, a bit on the small side with regular pegs. A very sweet, small sound. I’ve known several of his Cotrabassi over the years. I’ve commissioned a copy of the Amaryliss Amati piccolo made with poplar, very excited to get it. I have a copy of Benar Heifetz’s Brothers Amati that I recently set up for baroque playing, as well. I’m curious to know about the strings you have settled on for the piccolo and the “regular” baroque cellos, gauges, etc., if you wouldn’t mind Many thanks for this lovely introduction!

    Neat and informative video. (I'd love to hear a multitrack piece with all of them as a section). Anyway, I have a question. Modern cellists don't seem to detune their cellos. I guess, playing early instruments with all their various tunings you must have had to learn several different fingerings. Do you detune your strings on your 4 string cellos often? (like your A to a G on the one) . . . and do string players, cellists in particular here, find that annoying to do? Alternate tunings are pretty standard on guitars now - does it happen much with the violin family?

    Thank you, Elinor. ❤ I have inherited my mother's 1903 Violoncello and want to learn how to play it. Do you have suggestions where to start? How do I find a good teacher as well as a luthier for maintenance. I'm a classically trained pianist so I can read music. Reignited, Velma.

    i was wondering if you still have the cello that you played Francesco Paolo Supriani's Toccata decima and Giuseppe Maria Dall'Abaco's Primo, Capriccio on. I remember when i heard these quite by accident back in 2015 and was truly amazed.
