Violoncello
Venice or Veneto: Montagnana School, ca. 1700
Domenico Montagnana was one of the most renowned luthiers in Venice, besides Cremona, one of the most important violin making centers in Italy. This cello, although not by him, clearly stands under the influence of the master. One of the characteristics of the school was the broad upper bouts, which yields a very full sonority.
