Notes:
". . . You are very lucky. This cello is a unknown Milano instrument, Maestro played it nearly all his career, most of the recordings are made with this cello! In 1957 he bought the 2 Grancinos and sold his old cello to one of his pupils, Emmerich Buenemann. . . . He gave the cello on auction about 2 - 3 years ago . . .
