Luthier

David Tecchler (b c1668; d c1747) , Salzburg, Venice (from 1699), Rome

David Tecchler is considered the leading maker of the Roman school, although he was Austrian by birth and did not move to Rome until the 1690s. He was active there for more than thirty years, and although much of his work shows the influence of Stainer, he also used a flatter model that is more Cremonese in inspiration. Tecchler's cellos are particularly well regarded. Most of Tecchler's cellos were built on the large model prevalent at the time, and have since been reduced in size.
