The first thing to be thought of concerning the work is whether the luthier has the necessary capacity to deliver a first hand job. After that I examine the quality of the material to see if indeed it is what’s best in the market. A good luthier, like Rogerio, aggregate these two components: excellent labor and the use of high quality material
The first Cello from Rogerio Fagundes I met was a few years ago, while he was still studying his craft in Cremona. It called to my attention the impecable finishing and specially the tone quality of the string, which was full-bodied and powerful, without being metallic.
Last year I bought a Cello he made (Rogeri model) and can say I’m very glad. I feel very secure in recomending his worshop to my students when they need some kind of repair. Congratulations Rogério! Keep up the good work…
Joy and satisfaction in having here in Brazil, in our reach, a luthier as fantastic as Rogério Fagundes, I have full confidence in his work.
Unquestionable beauty, ease playing, excellent sound projection without missing the tone elegance. These are attributes you will find in the instruments made by the skilled hands of Rogério Fagundes.
