Kurt Robert Jones cello, 2024, Joseph Guarneri filius Andrea model, Honolulu | Metzler Violins
focused, resonant, lively
About the Instrument
This cello has a particularly gorgeous lower register, while also nimble and bright. Focused and responsive throughout, its bold sound makes this an excellent solo instrument. The lovely auburn varnish is applied over a golden ground. The refined tiger figure slants upward from the center joint of its two-piece back. Similar flames run along the ribs, with its scroll formed from a plainer wood. The luthier has antiqued and shaded this instrument, which includes craquelé, to hearken the original 18th century cello. An appropriate repair was made on small crack running from the lower part of the treble f-hole. This cello is in excellent condition.

About the Maker
Kurt Robert Jones (1965- ) is a contemporary American luthier who attended the Violin Making School of America in Salt Lake City, Utah. While a student, Jones also worked at the Peter Prier & Sons Violins shop. Upon graduation, Jones began his career with the notable luthier Rafael Carrabba at his luthier shop in Seattle. Two years later, in 1991, Jones created his personal atelier Kurt R. Jones Violins, Inc. and set roots in Montana. In the years since, Jones has crafted over 120 violins and 40 cellos of remarkable quality, notable for their richness in tone. He has continued to work closely with Carrabba Violins for three decades, often in restorations, recently acting as Senior Restorer for Carrabba’s restoration of the General Kyd Stradivarius cello. Jones’s atelier is now located in Honolulu, Hawai‘i.
