Fresh from his performance with Phantasm, leading Finnish viol and cello player Markuu Luolajan-Mikkola joins us to demonstrate the range of Lu-Mi Piccolo Cellos, available at LIFEM from The Early Music Shop.
Markku, who founded Lu-Mi Strings in 2002, will demonstrate the 4-string piccolo baroque cello after Guarneri and 5-string piccolo baroque cello after Amati, demonstrating the scope of each model and the range of tonal qualities these fabulous instruments produce.
Lu-Mi Strings makes fine handmade baroque and modern string instruments — each one shaped by hand, crafted in Beijing, and voiced with the care of a tradition centuries in the making. Rooted in the finest European lutherie traditions, every instrument is built to the highest standards of craftsmanship from exceptionally well-seasoned, carefully selected tonewoods, allowing each piece to sing with clarity, depth, and character.
