Hans-Peter den Daas
Cello maker
Hans-Peter (1965) has made violin making, and mainly cello building, his 2nd career. He learned the craft of making from German Geigenbaumeister Bernhard Zanders in Hinsbeck. Hans-Peter looks for big, warm and colourful sounds in his instruments. They should work well in orchestral, solo and chamber music settings. He is convinced that the design - and execution - of the arching is the key to the sound he seeks. Playability is another key point in his instruments: an instrument must allow the musician to concentrate on the music. His instruments must respond to the musician with directness and clarity, without compromise.
