Incredible concert on Sunday night at the Peacock Theatre. It was a concert given by François Rabbath & Sylvain Rabbath in Hobart. Here Francois Rabbath is pictured using his new Philip Smith bow.
I have been dreaming of a moment like this for many years. I can't believe it happened.
On his recent visit to Hobart Francois played an incredible concert with his son Sylvain Rabbath. Rabbath is pictured here using his new Philip Smith bow. I have been dreaming of a moment like this for many years. Can't believe it actually happened.

This is cello no. 10 in the white being played by a 'mystery cellist'.
Based on 'The Sleeping Beauty' Montagnana made circa 1739. This is my preferred model, because of its broad proportions which results in robust, earthy sound with much depth and presence (like a fine wine or a good woman). I always have players test out an instrument in the white before the final varnish, to gauge the instrument's potential and for final adjustments. This particular instrument has an excellent open sounding A string and more C string than you know what to do with. Thanks very much to my willing mystery cellist!
The cello is currently being varnished and polished to within an inch of its life, as is required. And is soon to be heard in a southern Tasmanian venue near you.
