Robert Freeman, Director of the Eastman School of Music and President of the New England Conservatory of Music, says,

“I have been stunned by the beauty and the carrying power of the new Lewis and Clark cellos. Cellists using the new instruments tell me that they find the instruments inspiring to work with.”

This cello’s cornice-less design allows it to be played closer to the body, so the bow arm does not have to be so high at the point of the A string.

With no sharp edge from the cello neck rubbing against player’s chest, this cello is more comfortable to play than a traditional wooden cello.

It's impervious to damage changes in weather and humidity. It takes very little time and effort to maintain. Only one size bridge is needed throughout the year. Exterior gets gets wiped down with some Windex.

Help Daniel acquire a carbon fiber cello to extend his performing life-span in LIthia Park - many thanks!

The Lewis and Clark cello is excellent for soloists and orchestra pit musicians.

It was designed specifically to stand up against a full orchestra or grand piano with very powerful resonance and a beautiful tone the cello can articulate the softest passages, but has enough power to fill a hall when needed.

Lewis and Clark uses fittings, bridges, pegs, etc, of the highest quality. And the instruments are set up to exacting standards by the best luthiers in Massachusetts.

The instrument is extremely resistant to damage climate and humidity.

This cello can be played outdoors in the winter snow or in a hot, humid rehearsal hall without fear of it fluctuating or cracking. It's perfect for outdoor gigs and in situations that may expose instruments to damage, touring, hiking, pit orchestras, schools, or bars.

The Lewis and Clark cello is ergonomically designed to for comfort and to prevent common cellist injuries, including sore shoulder syndrome.
