Elena Cheah, Cello Professor at Musikhochschule Freiburg, member of the Hegel Quartet

My experience with Mira and Gideon has been wonderful: they are both very attentive to what a musician wants in an instrument, and this is exactly the kind of relationship I wanted with my luthiers. I have had my cello “Toro” for half a year now, and it continues to develop new depth, colors, richness, and power every day. At every stage of the process, I have been able to explain to Mira and Gideon what adjustments I felt were necessary, and they have responded each time with sensitivity and precise workmanship to realize changes that went far beyond my expectations. It’s been a marvelous, exciting journey!
