The journey of learning the cello is a beautiful one, and a quality instrument is a partner on that path. Buying a cello is a significant milestone for any musician, marking a commitment to your craft and a profound step in your development as a player. The instrument you choose becomes an extension of your voice, shaping your sound, your technique, and your musical expression.

After a lifetime of playing the cello and teaching countless students, Olga knows that the right instrument can inspire, accelerate your progress, and unlock new possibilities in your playing. This understanding is what led her to Anton Krutz and the team at KC Strings.

Olga was deeply moved not only by Anton Krutz’s classical mastery as a luthier but by his visionary passion for the future of music education. Seeking a partner who shared her commitment to quality and growth, she flew to Kansas City and spent two days meticulously trying his instruments, comparing them to others she had played throughout her career. She simply fell in love with the rich, resonant sound of his cellos.

Olga now proudly plays on a magnificent Anton Krutz cello. Over the years, the instrument has matured, its voice growing richer and more complex. She feels that Anton’s meticulous process—from his careful selection of aged tonewoods to his famous secret varnishes—results in an instrument that can do more on every level than any other she has played.

This is why CelloJoy is proud to exclusively partner with KC Strings. Olga feels most confident recommending their instruments, knowing that the team at KC Strings shares her values of quality, craftsmanship, and musical excellence.

Whether you are ready to purchase your very first cello or you are an advanced student looking to trade and upgrade, you can trust that these instruments have been personally vetted and are confidently recommended by Olga. Your ideal cello, a true partner in your musical journey, awaits. If you have any questions or need guidance, please don’t hesitate to ask Olga for help in this important process.
