Maker & Restorer of Violins, Violas, Cellos & Double Basses.

      

         The Jay Haide range of instruments has been developed  by I.F.Shin Violins of Berkeley California over several years in collaboration with master European luthiers. All Jay Haide instruments are hand made in China from quality seasoned spruce and flamed-maple and have a tonal quality and workmanship that is normally found in instruments costing considerably more. These cellos have been designed with the advanced student and semi-professional in mind, regardless, these instruments represent very good value for money.

 

       The J. Haide cello that I have for sale and featured below is the Venetian model with 'L'ancienne' finish. I receive these instruments without any fittings so the entire 'fit-up' is performed in my workshop to exacting standards  by me. The pegs fitted are good quality ebony, bridges are Chevalets Despiau or Albert, end pins are good quality German. Included in the standard offer are a set of Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings and a Thomastic tail peice.  This  cello model is available with either an antiqued finish ("a l'ancienne") or the standard finish, in both cases very well executed. Please contact me should you wish to try out this or any other instrument. The details of this cello follow.
