It is with great pleasure that I continue my collaboration with the talented violin maker Vik Vandamme. He worked in my workshop in 2019, and during the last six months he has made this cello for me, based on my proven personal cello model. The cello is made from air dried materials from my abundant stock; Italian Alpine spruce, a beautiful one piece willow back, European flamed maple ribs and a maple neck that is elegantly joined to the willow scroll.

The cello was made in Vik’s workshop in Belgium under close supervision by yours truly. He has also varnished the cello with my own oil varnish. The cello has been set up by Vik, and has a dark and glossy tone with fullness over the entire register. This is the instrument for those who want the taste of a von der Lippe cello, but at a very nice price. Six Norwegian cellists already enjoy cellos built by Vik every day.

The cello was sold after only three weeks to a young talent in Oslo. Contact us at jacob@vonderlippe if you are interested in the next cello from Vik arriving in spring 2025. Read more…
