Story of an instrument
Many people have a good instrument they would like to see put to good use.
This 19thC German cello was Mary Myers’ grandfather’s constant companion, but after his death it wasn’t played for 20 years. As a family treasure nobody wished to sell it so Mary placed it with us if to find a young cellist who could benefit.
After renovation it was offered to Wells scholar Kit Cookson, seen here with Mary, who has now taken it on to his undergraduate studies at the Guildhall School of Music. Kit has the cello for 5 years for a small fee and insurance (arranged by the Trust), after which the Mary decides whether to extend the loan or reclaim the cello.
