Cello

“… the most regrettable thing is that modern instrument makers are committed to manufacturing instruments with so little effort. It seems that a craftsman will use one piece or another without a specific reason, but instead follows his whims.”

Leopold Mozart: Versuch einer gründlichen Violinschule, Augsburg 1756

Having experimented with countless methods and after complex development steps we still strive to obtain the best possible sound from our raw material. Good enough is not good enough for us.

Since the string length (vibrating length of the string measured from nut to bridge) of individual instruments differs, the string thicknesses should be chosen according to the string length.

We produce special pure gut low G- and C-strings.

By combining the traditional rope production methods with string making techniques, we were able to create a significantly thickened string.

Our string is very flexible, produces an audibly clearer sound and reacts more quickly to the bow compared to a string that has been thickened less.

Our wound strings guarantee a new playing experience.

String core:

Sheep gut

Winding:

copper silver-plated, dark, warm sound

copper, bright clear sound

SCHÜRCH-BRIDGE

For the fifths between the strings to be pure, the mass in the string must be evenly distributed. Gut is a natural product that can change through playing. With the Schürch bridge, you can reliably and easily check your string for fifths purity and correct it with fine sandpaper if necessary.Until the introduction of machine sanding, it was a matter of course for musicians to rework the string themselves. The awareness of the need for this has disappeared to this day.Re-sharpening the strings with the Schürch-Bridge is simple and uncomplicated and prolongs the playability of your string.Instruction
