Jay Haide's Euro wood a l'ancienne instruments are made with aged European tonewood producing a beautifully layered, rich sonority, whose depth and color is brought to life by its powerful resonance.
The delicate flaming of the maple on the back of each instrument accentuates the richness and complexity of the auburn shades of our proprietary varnish carefully applied and beautifully antiqued giving each instrument the patina of age, so desired by both musicians and connoisseurs. They are as beautiful tonally as they are visually.
The Special Model cellos are available in either the Stradivarius pattern (narrower, streamlined body, with a brighter sound), Ruggieri pattern, or the wider bodied Montagnana pattern with a broad, rich, dark sound.
This Jay Haide Cello is brought to you after years of development. The varnish is a new formulation, carefully applied and beautifully antiqued giving each instrument the patina of age, so desired by both musicians and connoisseurs. They are as beautiful tonally as they are visually.
The Jay Haide L'ancienne has been designed for the advanced student and professional who needs an instrument that will compliment and enhance their artistic style.
