Gofriller Cello copy

I was casually watching the BBC Proms last week when I experienced a sudden jolt of recognition; the cello being played by Gautier Capuçon was a 1701 Mattheo Gofriller which I used to know very well. It was lovely to hear the cello in great voice in the Brahms Double Concerto, played with his brother, the violinist, Renaud Capuçon. My friend Moray Welsh used to own this cello and I made a 'warts and all' copy for him many years ago and got to know every quirk and detail and the superb shattering bass.
