"What impressed me most about Jim was that he had put so many thoughts into building a cello.
He seemed to be not just concerned about copying old models, but in trying to understand what
makes them great and going
as far as possible to make
them better."

Yo-Yo Ma

"... terrific, a beautiful orange gold Italian cello. It compares favorably with the Stradivarius and Montagnana cellos I’ve played."

Mihaly Virizlay
