Cellos

Gaia

In 2010 I completed "Gaia" for the Spanish-American cellist Phil Wilkinson. Gaia is modeled after a Montagnana instrument. Phil wanted a cello with an all-encompassing tone, rich with possibilities in all registers. For posterity he wanted to express his concept of our world with Gaia intact and content.

“No modern maker, in my opinion, embodies the essence of the old masters, the vision, the creativity, the instinctive tonal mastery, better than Anne Cole.”
