New Arrival: Bernd Dimbath S-Class Cello 🎻😍

We’re excited to introduce our second S-Class cello from Bernd Dimbath; and it’s nothing short of exceptional.

Handcrafted in 2026 in Bubenreuth, Germany, this instrument represents the very highest tier of Dimbath’s work. As owner and head of Heinrich Gill, Dimbath is renowned for combining traditional craftsmanship with meticulous wood selection, and the S-Class is the pinnacle of that approach.

The result is a cello with remarkable depth, clarity, and projection; an inspiring instrument for serious players.

Find it in our showroom now.

🎻 Our latest Daniele Tonarelli violin is here and ready to play!

We’re proud to have a long-term association with Tonarelli; his violins are always a favourite here. The attention to detail, consistency, and sheer quality is remarkable.

And yes… it sounds every bit as beautiful as it looks!

Come and try it for yourself. 🎶
