A new Violoncello da Spalla with minimal wait time and great price!
I have a new(ish) Violoncello da Spalla Standard Model that will be available to ship in about 60 days, or less. It is currently in the hands of one of my best customers, who is waiting for completion of a custom Exhibition Model VdS. See Note about the Exhibition Model below.
Note about the Violoncello da Spalla Exhibition Model: This is a master-built Violoncello da Spalla that not only plays and sounds extraordinary, but has exhibition level aesthetic qualities, such as rare AAAA-grade Bear Claw Sitka Spruce from Alaska and dramatically figured AAAA-grade slab-sawn Quilted Maple from Oregon (the body) and Vancouver Island, British Columbia (Canada). The Exhibition Model currently sells for $18,500 if you are interested.
The regular sales price for the VdS Standard Model currently for sale is $12,500. Since it is technically ‘used’, I will sell it for $10,500, $6,500 down, with balance ($4,500) due when it is ready to ship. This same model has sold on the used market in the $11,000 to $15,000 range. See Violoncellos da Spalla and Related on the Don Rickert Musician Shop website for detailed descriptions of my various Violoncello da Spalla models.
The Violoncello da Spalla for sale is strung with Infeld-Thomastik Violoncello da Spalla strings. There are advantages to a relatively new pre-owned instrument, the main one being that all of the minor kinks associated with a new instrument have been resolved during the break-in period in the hands of a skilled player.
FYI: This is the exact same instrument played by such notable players as William Hurd and Andrew Gonzalez. Here is a link to a plethora of Violoncellos da Spalla by Don Rickert being played: Demonstrations of Violoncellos da Spalla by Don Rickert
Give me a call.
If you wish to discuss this instrument or a completely new build, I look forward to hearing from you.
