Hello, all.

Does anyone know anything about the number and availability of cellos by Gaspare Lorenzini of Piacenza (17??-1811)? All I can find is the one featured here in the ad by Machold and on the website of the young cellist, Niklas Eppinger, the Tchaikovsky winner, who plays a Lorenzini cello. Can anyone tell me about the characteristics and stylistic features (physical and aural) associated with this maker? I have read Christopher Reuning's excellent piece in the Journal of The Violin Society of America v. XIX, No. 2, suggesting that some of the instruments of Lorenzo Guadagnini might actually be those of Lorenzini or others, but would be grateful to learn much more. Thank you.

Cullen

Alan Harris, the distinguished professor of cello at Eastman, also has an excellent Lorenzini cello. I seem to recall that it's from the late 1750's.
