Thurmond Knight made this cello in 1994 and dedicated it to his mother, Ellen Frances Simmons Knight.  Owned by a professional cellist for 6 years, Ellen Frances has been played in thoroughly and has a round open sound with full bass resonance and an upper end that soars.  Thurmond has just been given the opportunity to buy back his cello, and she is now ready to find a new home.   Sale price: $ 22,000.
