The Cello
This 2003 Raymond Schryer Cello is a beautiful instrument that offers both ease of playability and strong projection. Made in the same year Schryer won a Gold Medal at the Triennale Internazionale in Cremona, it reflects his attention to detail and dedication to his craft.
The cello responds smoothly to the player’s touch, producing a clear, resonant tone that carries well in both solo and ensemble settings. With a balanced sound and comfortable feel, it is a beautiful example of Schryer’s work and a great choice for musicians looking for a warm and expressive instrument.
The Maker
Raymond Schryer (b. 1961, Sault Ste. Marie, ON) is a renowned violin maker known for his craftsmanship, innovation, and contributions to the field. He began studying violin making at 14 under his uncle, Fernand Schryer, before completing a formal apprenticeship at Geo. Heinl & Co. in Toronto.
Since the 1990s, Raymond has earned numerous international awards, including a prestigious Gold Medal for Cello at the 2003 Triennale Internazionale in Cremona, where his work is now displayed at the Museo del Violino. He has served on the boards of the American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers and the Violin Society of America, as well as jury panels for international competitions.
Dedicated to advancing the craft, Raymond teaches at violin-making schools, conferences, and workshops, including the Oberlin Workshop. His latest venture, the Lutherie Innovation Center, provides both in-person and online training in traditional techniques and modern CAD design.
