Gaetano Sgarabotto
Parma, c.1930

We have seen six Sgarabotto cellos of this model, each of which was an imitation of a different classic Italian maker. Sgarabotto labeled this fine cello as a Joseph Gagliano, though the similarities to that maker are fleeting.

Still, this is a very attractive instrument by all measures. But its most remarkable attribute is its sound, which is rich, full, and powerful with impressive tonal qualities.

Dear Friends,

We are very pleased to announce the partial re-opening of our Boston location on June 8th, 2020. We will be here to help you by email and phone. We will offer “curbside” pickup and delivery on our 8th floor landing for instruments, bows, and accessories. We are also pleased to serve you by Fedex or UPS. Customers are not allowed inside our store at this time.

We are available to help with appraisals, certificates of authenticity, instrument and bow purchase, instrument or bow consignment, or for consultation. We will resume repairs and rehairs of customer instruments and bows at a later date.
