“Its never a surprise that great instruments sell for top prices at auction. The ex-Havemeyer Guadagnini cello attracted dozens of would-be buyers and sold for nearly double its estimate. It’s a pleasure to see Tarisio’s global audience react so strongly to great instruments.”
– Jason Price, Founder, Expert and Director
