This cello is made from a Giuseppe Guarneri filius Andreae model. The two-piece back is cut on the slab from Italian Poplar. The ribs are made of similar Italian Poplar. The scroll and neck are made of similar maple. The scroll has been grafted to the neck. The two-piece top is of medium broad somewhat irregular spruce which broadens toward the flanks. The cello is finished with an orange-brown varnish on a golden ground and has been antiqued.
