Cello by David Walker, Chilwell, 1990
About the cello
The cello was made in Chilwell near Nottingham in 1990. The front is two pieces of high-quality, broad grained spruce. The back is two pieces of book-matched, narrow-flamed maple and the ribs and scroll are of similar wood. The varnish is a golden orange colour which has the lovely quality of appearing to change colour in different lights.
The cello has a length of back of 754 mm or 29 and 5/8th inches.
