Giuseppe Dall'Aglio Cello

Full size 2 piece vertical grained spruce, 2 piece back moderately flamed poplar, ribs are of moderately flamed poplar, the scroll is original of poplar with a moderately flamed neck graft.

Giuseppe Dall'Aglio was heavily inspired by the work of Pietro Guarneri, who lived in Mantua from 1680 until 1720. Dall’Aglio cellos convey the spontaneous character of late 18th and early 19th Century Italian work and are quite rare.

Between the old Mantua school, represented by Peter Guarneri, Camillo Camilli, and Tomasso Balestrieri, and the new Mantua school represented by Stefano Scarampella, the only notable maker working in Mantua in the early 19th century seems to be Giuseppe Dall’Aglio.
