My passion for the cello has been lifelong.  I began playing when I was barely able to walk and, after studying at the Royal Academy of Music, The Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and the École Normale de Musique de Paris, my continued fascination with the instrument led me onwards to study the making, repair, and restoration of fine instruments with Keith Graves, Laurie Farrelly and Rod Ward.

 

I founded my dealership to provide an open and welcoming environment for cellists of all ages and abilities to find their perfect match.  With no central London premesis to maintain, my prices are kept down, and clients are instead invited to visit my home on Dalston Lane where it is possible to try cellos at length and in peace, with none of the hustle and bustle of busy West End showrooms.

If you are interesting in coming to play some cellos please get in touch via the contact page above!
