James McKean, New York, 2019

Please inquire for price

James Mckean is a seasoned instrument maker based in New York. After attending the prestigious Violinmaking School of America in Salt Lake City, James spent three years apprenticing with master maker Vahakn Nigigosian in New York City, before opening his own shop there in 1980. This 2019 cello is example of his exacting standards of quality. This instrument sings with nuance and sweetness. The upper register has a wide range of color and is capable of both assertive fortissimos as well as tasteful pianissimo passages. The low end resonates with confidence that rings throughout the entire instrument. The player will be thrilled with the ease of motion offered by the McKean cello, as well as its swift and lively response. The James McKean cello has a signature almond brown finish with wood inlay adorning the edges and a beautifully textured back with straight flames. This cello is ideally suited for professionals or advanced players.
