Beautiful sound --- the cello seems to speak so easily. But anyone else freaked out over having this conversation -- with a 330-year-old cello i hand -- outside, street-side? (Cue car zipping past at 0.28 and gulls squawking at 4.40 ...)
They did lots of experimentation back then, and there were plenty of metal gears on 18th century cellos. Many players nowadays are switching to planetary gear pegs, that look like old wooden pegs but have gears inside. I'm one of them. I'm heavily considering ordering a new cello in the near future with electric guitar pegs on it, because why not. Cheaper than Knilling planetary pegs, same result.
Yep! This is what the tool looks like. You can keep in on your key ring or in your cello case. www.cellostrap.com/shop/p/stringvison-replacement-key-one-key
Speaks immediately. Thank you for sharing. I had both G and C pegs done this way. I was close to giving up the cello from pain, within a week the pain was gone. 4 years ago.
I'm glad that Mr Moser played a little of a Bach suite. I wanted to hear the tone without vibrato- which by definition is distorting. Loved your interview. Thank you.

@@masumirostad A master builder is someone who makes high quality instruments. That's not "my" definition, that's common sense. And of course, age does not make an instrument better. But maybe your relation to your instrument.
Agreed. I hope we can also agree on Andrea Guarneri’s status as a uniquely outstanding and important luthier and also consider that, from 1690, his son Giuseppe (yes, del Gèsu!) was starting to do much of his work.
@@masumirostad The discussion in the video. At 7:43 my take on what he was saying was that it would be a "smaller" sound, and maybe not as rich, but when he played it it sounded huge and rich to me.
