FINE CELLOS FOR SALE
Eric Benning Cello
Los Angeles 2019
Los Angeles 2019
This is the latest cello by Eric Benning made on the classic model by Matteo Goffriller. This cello has an unparalleled, one-piece, quarter-cut, Bosnian maple back from the 1960’s. The top was fashioned from Northern-Italian spruce which the family acquired in the 1950’s. Gorgeous flames in the back and strong hazel-spruce markings on the top make this one of Eric’s most visually stunning instruments to date. The Goffriller model gives this cello a dark, powerful tone.
