The maker, Tadeusz Slipek, among Poland's most respected contemporary makers, is known for combining classic Cremonese principles with his deep understanding of modern playing requirements. His instruments reflect both his training in the renowned Kraków school of lutherie and his extensive study of historical masterworks. This cello, based on the pattern of Hendrik Jacobs, the distinguished 17th-century Dutch master, demonstrates Slipek's thoughtful interpretation of historical models. While Jacobs himself was known for his expressive adaptation of Amati patterns and exceptional varnish work, Slipek has masterfully reimagined these elements to create instruments that offer both superior playability and sophisticated tonal qualities. The compact dimensions are executed with such skill that they enhance handling while maintaining the full tonal authority expected of a professional instrument. 4/4, Crafted in 2025, New Cello comes with a light-weight carbon hard case.
