Would love to fly to Whitehorse and buy that Mezzo Forte, but I bought a Evoline Hybrid Mezzo Forte last week and I love it. The Evo model is around a third of the price and sound great.
Hello from USA. Bought my daughter a 7/8 jay Haide based on your reviews. Ideallly I wanted to get a carbon fiber cello for her since it’s more durable. But they don’t come in 7/8.
Maybe somewhat tangential but the 2 prominent carbon fiber cello makers (Mezzoforte and Luis and Clark) make 5 string cellos. This was a factor that swayed me to go with Luis and Clark.
L&C: better sound than Mezzo-Forte and five-string! Btw: Do you have any suggestion for a better E-string than Thomastik-Infeld Spirocore? I‘ve tried Larsen E-String, but it is inferior.
The wood cello sounds better than the carbon fiber cello, but the wood cello also sounds better than a wood cello. I've heard some A-list players playing some very thin and brittle-sounding cellos. I notice that neither of those cellos appears to have a wolf-note suppressor. is it not necessary on these?
What a delightfully affable chap you are. If only you weren't 10,500 miles away I would call in and buy new strings. Keep up the good work.
Funny. I was researching carbon cellos and found Richard’s review. He’s 200 metres away from my home.
…and I can testify to his affability.
I bought the Mezzo Forte off their website and now eagerly awaiting delivery 😉

Maybe not 7/8, but carbon cellos are smaller than wood.

CF sounds good, but the wood cello sounds much richer/vibrant/diverse to my ears.
bit late, but what the blue case to the right of him with the polygonal shape
the carbon fiber has it all except the wood sound. like you said

How much is the silver bam behind you? I want to buy one but they are expensive in the US
As an autistic person, I LOVE your intro.
Hi there, what's the model name of the Mezzo Forte featured in your review? Many thanks and kindest regards
Probably the premium line. The evo and design line are both under 5000€
Wood 4:11
Fibre 5:53
Fibre 7:14
Fibre 8:23
Wood 8:54
Jay Haide for his wood sound:-)
You are a good man
Hi Richard
