Notes from DimBath:
Each instrument is completely handmade and is based on the patterns of old masters. They are not copies as every Dimbath cello has its own character, personality and style. No two instruments are completely alike so each is a work of art.
All of the tonewood is from European sources and is naturally aged for at least 10 years and is selected from their own stock. Wood selection is assisted by using high-end scientific measurements and the highly trained, expert eye of Bernd to ensure the wood has the most favorable inherent acoustical properties which is a critical factor in making world-class modern instruments.
Bernd Dimbath works closely with two Dutch scientists combining 300 years of violin making tradition with 21st century acoustical research.
Bernd explains" (they) analyze every little detail and balance every part under these highly developed and controlled acoustical aspects. The results have been amazingly successful"
Bernd is a 5th generation master instrument maker.
He is a Graduate of Handwerkshammer, Berlin 1987
Attended Mitterwald Violin Making School 1983-1987
Matteo Gofriller
Raise the subject of Venetian cellos, and players excitingly mention their great depth and powerful sound. The Gofriller captures the vibrant, penetrating tonal quality of the original. True to the maker's intent, the very characteristic craftsmanship achieves a perfect level of grace and balance. Although the pattern is built on a grand scale, it is easy to play due to its relatively narrow upper bouts. Special care has been taken with the wood selection, arching, and graduation to produce an instrument ideal for solo, orchestral, and chamber music. The cello responds to the player's inner voice with its agile response and ample, rich, and warm tone.
