- Dear Friends,
In our latest RUclips video, we delve into the fascinating world of cellos, drawing a distinct comparison between two iconic models: the Stradivari and the Montagnana. These two represent opposite extremes, not only in terms of dimensions but also in the realm of sound.
Join me as we explore the nuanced differences in craftsmanship and tonal characteristics that set these models apart. From the elegant precision of Stradivari to the bold resonance of Montagnana, we unravel the unique qualities that define each and celebrate the diverse world of cellos. Don't miss this captivating journey into the heart of stringed instrument craftsmanship.

I love the full sound of the Montagnana so much, I commissioned one from Edgar. It’s been about a year and a half and we’re still getting to know each other. I have no regrets and she’ll be my forever cello!
Upvote for Montagnana and as the owner of a Guadagnini pattern cello, I want to say that it is the most soulful instrument I have ever played and in spite of being small has an incredible warmth and an ease of projection that works very well for solo, chamber music and orchestral solos. I never have to push and the sound cuts like a knife without being at all tight
Great video as usual!
Would be nice to have sound comparison from your cellos, Montagnana and Stradivarius
To actually hear the difference between them
But I am more inclined to buy a Montagnana in a near future
The ex du Pré Francesco Goffriller cello is one of the most outstanding instruments I’ve ever heard, and that’s in the hands of other players too. The Testore cellos owned by Nancy Green and Amanda Forsyth are also incredible instruments, superbly handled.
I regard Jean-Guihen Queyras' Gioffredo Cappa cello as the best sounding cello I have ever heard, evidencing that lesser-known makers often produce superior instruments and that one should not be deluded into believing that it is absolutely necessary to have an instrument by one of the biggest name luthiers to obtain the best sounding instrument.
I love to hear the Lord Aylesford Stradivari cello, it really touches my heart everytime
I love the Montagnana! Sleeping beauty ❤❤❤
Greetings, could you tell us about small cellos, like the Strad the Munck 1730?
Hello Mr. Russ , I heard Napoleon played a Stradivarius cello ? He even left marks in the varnish from his boot spurs ? That is how he got his nick name ' The Butcher ' ?
This is probably heresy, but after playing the “Sleeping Beauty” Montagnana and the “Bass of Spain,” the Castelbarco Strad I was surprised at both instruments’ demands: the Montagnana responded to a faster bow than the Strad; the Strad never seemed to reach a “bottoming-out” point toward the bridge-it kept on inviting a heavier, slower bow arm and responding to it. Both instruments impressed me with their consistency of sound projection throughout the cello’s range-to a point that even struck me as “airbrushed”-but both left me with the feeling that “good” sound ultimately has more to do with how happily the individual setup works for a given player and much less to do with the model. To be frank, I have often found more core sound flexibility possible with good modern instruments, regardless of model, than in even the greatest originals, but don’t tell anybody.
Can't go wrong with a Goffriller model.
Help! What is the exact length of the 4/4 cello strings? What is the distance between the body and the bridge?
What about santagiuliana?
pietro guarneri cello ~!!!👍👍
Montagnan. 3/4 cello
I would like to make a steel cello, then you could rust it and wax it to get a nice brown finish and use gun bluing for the fingerboard and such for a more black finish.
lol?
