Crafting a Montagnana cello has been such a fulfilling experience. As I already explained in the last posts, the cello was crafted following the model by Domenico Montagnana, a famous luthier that was born in 1686 in Lendinara and was active in Venice, in M.Matteo Sellas’ workshop. He then started his own workshop around 1721. Although 300 years have passed, the model on which I built the cello has maintained its qualities: good proportions and a good sound response are still what characterises it.
