C43-06 head.JPG [2/6] Author: Andrew Carruthers Caption: Ruggieri model cello with a two-piece figured poplar back. The fluting of this head has been finished in the manner of a Giacinto Ruggieri cello that I once worked on. Giacinto had carved the fluting with diagonal cuts of a narrow gouge and left the marks plain to see. The sweeping hatching effect brings extra dynamic to the form.
