"I am a professional cellist and was looking for a second cello. David is a valued and trusted colleague and was extremely helpful in sourcing a Chinese cello which was well set up and came with a light carbon fibre case. It was reasonably priced and I have been very happy with how it plays."
Joely Koos, Professor of Cello, Trinity Laban
"David provided invaluable guidance which culminated in a shortlist of three suitable cellos. Our daughter was able to try them and David's appraisal of each allowed us to make an informed decision. We selected a Chinese Strad model, a Pernambuco bow and a light carbon fibre case, meeting the brief perfectly."
Grant, father of an A Level cello student
"When I started having lessons with David, he gave me four or five different cellos to try out before making a decision. As soon as I started playing my cello, which is a French Thibouville-Lamy cello, I knew that it was the one I wanted to use. It produces a lovely, warm tone and allows me to vary my colour."
Alistair, Music Graduate, University of York
"During my first year at university, I decided it was the time to invest in a better cello and David gave me the opportunity to try a variety of five different ones; all with their unique character and sound. I chose the one which I believed had the sweetest tone, and also a louder, more projected sound. I also bought a bow from David. Since then I have always been confident that I have made the best choice possible."
