Kim took me took to her favorite instrument maker, David Gage on Walker Street in New York and I was blown away by the craftsmanship at work in the shop. From the outside it looked more like an abandoned building but once you are buzzed into the shop you are in strings paradise.

Especially on the second floor where the basses and the cellos are. They had such a beautiful warm colored instruments that I had to try to record it.

Write your story here. (Optional)

Gorgeous cello’s all around. Many different deep beautiful colors.

Nice wooden cello stands that I had never seen before.

The basses almost looked human and as if they were engaging in conversations.

The light was not great for photography so I had to shoot with the lens almost completely open, hence lack of depth of field in most photos. Although the one below was on purpose :-)
