I'm a newer Cello student looking for information on a Cello that I am (renting to own) through my local music store. A few months ago, I upgraded my
rental to an older Cello that feels and sounds much better than the previous rental. I would like to research this Cello before I decide to spend the $2000
asking price. I live in a rural location, so my options for testing/comparing other instruments is limited. The Cello was purchased and repaired by a Luthier
associated with the music store a couple years ago from a local university when the administration made the decision to replace older instruments. I'm
told that the music department was reluctant to sell but eventually over ruled. The Cello shows it's wear but the warm rich tones it produces was a
significant upgrade. Looking at the label all I see is:
Stradivarius Model
Nr 5229 Anno 1938
Made especially for Voit & Geiger Inc
Chicago, ILL
Stamped on the wood just below the label is a mark that appears to be CH3GO. (Any suggestion on where to get additional information about this instrument?)
