Raggetti Master Cello – Rocca 6.0

This is a striking instrument. The top is fine grained solid spruce, and the back and sides are highly flamed solid maple, with a hand varnished oil finish. It has inlaid purfling, rosewood French style pegs, and an ebony fingerboard. The instrument has been set up in the BassWorks workshop by an expert craftsman, and we have added a Aubert bridge, larsen strings, wittner tailpiece, and a glasser endpin to complete the set up. It has excellent playability and sound.

The artistry of Raggetti has captured the character and history of some of the finest string instruments ever made in the Raggetti Master’s Series of recreations. Meticulous studies of the originals and iconographies, together with advanced technologies and fine making, have melded the beauty of the original instruments and the construction principles of the Stradivari & Guarneri masters.

The Master’s Series cellos are a fine investment that will give many years of enjoyment to the musician and collector alike, and will be a piece of musical history to be passed on.
