Cello - Hagen Weise #320 1/2
This cello was made by Hagen Weise in Baiersdorf, in 2023. Weise has been active since 1991 when he commenced work for the Roderisch Paesold Company in Bubenreuth, Germany. In 2004 Weise successfully completed his master violin-making examination. Since 2010 Weise has been dedicated to making fine instruments in his own workshop, often experimenting with different kinds of woods and models of different makers. The instrument also comes with a certificate of authenticity from Weise.
The cello is labelled "Hagen Weise / Baiersdorf 2024 3124320-5". The body measures 655mm along the back, 299mm across the upper bouts and 375mm across the lower bouts. It has a two-piece back of well flamed maple with a narrow curl, and matching ribs and scroll. The top is a broadly grained spruce of even growth, and it is finished with a light amber-brown varnish and ebony fittings
It has a very resonant core of sound to it, with clear and concise articulation, and a good balance across all registers. The A string is particularly open, making it a nice instrument for a lot of early soloistic cello repertoire.
