Modern Cellos by Walter Mahr   

"Cellos...with a soul.... from Bavaria." Mahr's cellos have a sweet and powerful tone. His tonal investigations are evident in every example of his work. (Charles Magby  offers a substantial collection of fine cellos, violins and violas in various grades made by Mahr.)

Cellos are modeled after the work of Guarneri, Stradivari and Henrik Jacobs in a wide range of qualities. He makes superior instruments for student players with a well-grained, solid maple back, pine wood top and ebony fittings... up to superbly made masterpieces with marvelously textured maple. Mahr's select tonal wood is carefully seasoned up to 50 years. Mahr can vary the mixture of his oil and spirit varnish according to the desired tonal properties required by a player.

Walter Mahr's grandfather was a mandolin-maker in Schonback. In addition, his great grandfather was a violinmaker. Walter Mahr worked with master craftsman Ernst Heinrich Roth, the cello maker Lothar Semmlinger and with Roderich Paesold.

Cello by Walter Mahr, Bavaria, Germany, condition is new.  Length is75.8cm.  It is a magnificent copy of Joseph Guarnerius, Cremona, 1720.  While new, it sounds like a 200 years old cello!  Try it yourself.  The back is highly flamed Bosnian maple.  It is the very finest Bosnian maple.  The top is Hazelfichte, once again, of the highest order.  The varnish is a beautiful deep brown.  The tone is bottomless, colorful and prevailing.CM#4782

Carón cellos are known for their carrying power in a hall and their incredible ease of playing.  It is the perfect cello for a professional performer in any venue.  David Carón says about his varnish:  "It is chemically stable. It is tough, but flexible. It has a very high melting point. Most of all, because of its flexibility, it produces a smooth, deep, open sound". CM#4940

SOLD: Cello by David Carón #90, Taos, N.M., made in 1989.  This very fine example of David’s Work was made for a member of the Dallas Symphony who has since retired.  The wood on this instrument is nothing short of spectacular, with highly flamed Bosnian maple back, sides and scroll, and unusually tight, even grained Engelmann spruce.  The varnish is David’s usual highly transparent reddish-orange brown Cremonese-style oil varnish.  If you need to win a major symphony audition, you don’t have to look any further. 

SOLD: Cello by William Harris Lee, Chicago, Illinois, made in 1995.  This is an attractive cello.  The front is of exceptional two-piece hazel pine of even grain.  The back is two-piece maple cut half on the slab with appealing figure throughout.  The sides and scroll are of corresponding material.  CM#4745
