The heart of the workshop. Fully configurable. Built in Germany.
The mf | core cello is the instrument we build most often and the one with the widest range of use. It combines the tonal and structural properties of carbon fiber with a hand-finished surface. And it is configurable, so the instrument adapts to how you play.

Tone
Warm and singing, with an overtone richness that allows musical shaping at a high level. In the upper positions of the A string the instrument shows a lyrical, radiant quality. It responds sensitively to bow speed and contact point, and the response is light: the tone is there at once, in every position, without resistance.
Finish
The body is produced by vacuum infusion. Then comes the part you actually see: sanded, lacquered, sanded again, lacquered again, and finally polished by hand. Two full lacquer cycles, each one inspected individually. Only that effort brings out the shifting carbon pattern, with a depth that changes as the light moves.
Also available with Orchestra Finish: a wood look built to your specification, color tone, flaming, one-piece or two-piece back.
