Rickert ($8,400 - $9,600) We look forward to hearing from you. Over the past several years, we have built performance-level violoncellos da spalla for professional musicians. We are indeed proud of the fact that some of the preeminent violoncello da spalla players in the world play our instruments. This group includes Andrew Gonzalez and Will Hurd.

We also offer an “Artist Model” that starts at $16,500!—even further out of reach for all but the most committed and well-funded professionals.
