Talbot Antique Cellos
Years ago, before the advent of the internet, TV and even radio, families and friends would entertain themselves by playing music together. This led to the production of many instruments of all levels of quality. It’s our mission to search out the better quality old cellos, restore them if necessary, optimize their sound and make them available to cellists and collectors who appreciate a sense of history and the unique sound that only mature tone woods can offer. We also offer a selection of quality contemporary cellos, cello bows (including the last remaining from Reid Hudson) and cello cases. Based in Victoria, BC, we welcome your visit, we also safely ship around the globe.
“I particularly appreciate David’s passion for the history of my instrument, his concern for protecting/assuring it during its transportation, his care and attention in all details and his concern about the conservation of those precious instruments.'' – Manon, PQ
”I recently purchased a beautiful Scottish cello from Talbot’s Antique Cellos. My experience was extremely positive. It was a lovely surprise to find a genuine love and respect for the instruments, and for those us of us looking to buy them, in Talbot’s Antique Cellos.” - Catherine, BC
