Living just out of Wellington, in Upper Hutt, New Zealand, Malcolm Collins originally trained as a boat builder where he developed his fine woodworking skills.
Malcolm is a very natural and intuitive violin maker who has made a large number of instruments. As an amateur musician he was drawn to violin making and over the years has produced an admirably large body of fine work.
This cello is made from finely flamed maple in the back and sides while the belly has a distinctive hazeling effect in the spruce giving it a very attractive appearance. This cello is fitted with a set of the Kaplan Solutions strings giving it a strong and direct tone whilst maintaining the refined warmth of timbre that is characteristic of Malcolm’s cellos.
