This cello has a similar Amati-inspired model as the “Royal George” William Forster of 1782 which was made for the Prince of Wales. It has an opulent red varnish and the seductive, velvety tone typical of cellos by this prolific family of makers. It is offered for sale with original correspondence from W.E. Hill and Sons. Please contact us for price and further information if you are interested to buy a fine Forster cello.
