Angelo Sperzaga Violoncello "Stradivari - Piatti" Cremona, Italy 1994 with papers

This was purchased new from the Jay R. Rury Violin Shop in Dallas, TX. It is a one owner instrument played in the Richardson Symphony Orchestra. I took it to Caraway Strings in Richardson, TX and they polished the instrument body and reset the soundpost. Good condition. No open seams. Some small scratches to the varnish, but normal wear for its age. Bridge in good condition.

Cello Label: the cello is labeled "Angelo Sperzaga Cremona 1994". The label is signed by the maker, Angelo Sperzaga. It is fire branded "Angelo Sperzaga Cremona" on the inside of the back.

Cello Description: the two-piece spruce top has an even, straight, medium width grain. The two-piece maple back has a narrow curl. The ribs and scroll are of a maple that matches the back. The cello has black chamfers on the scroll and the ends of the corners. The varnish is medium golden-brown lightly shaded over a golden ground.
