The Story of an Instrument
Many people have a good instrument they would like to see put to good use.
This 19th century German cello was Mary Myers’ grandfather’s constant companion, but after his death it wasn’t played for 20 years. As a family treasure nobody wished to sell it so Mary placed it with us if to find a young cellist who could benefit.
After renovation it was offered to Kit Cookson, seen here with Mary, then a scholar at Wells Cathedral School, now an undergraduate at Guildhall School of Music.
