Celo
 

Hey everyone! I'd like to know what good celo makers are out there...I'm looking to buy a celo, I'm from Ontario Canada and I'll accept new and used offers....

I heard theres good stuff in vojvodina:)...I think one of them goes by the name of Dusko or Dusan Rajkovic

thanks!.. still looking too..lol

well...where are u in ontario...and looking for something specific?

well, I'm near Oakville....I'm looking for a good celo that would be played in large or small bands/tambura groups. Also one in fairly good shape......new or used...prefered new..but if it sounds great then I can sacrifice...

ok...then talk to steve or branko I'm sure you know them. I'm here in mississauga.

lol..I do and I have.. they don't know specific people but they also said that the guys from vojvodina had some good stuff as well..

:P :bonk: oh well then

Indeed :p lol...thanks though...

Alright..so I'm still in the market for a celo and will be in Croatia this summer again. Would anyone know contact info for jurkovic...franic..graditelji?

any help would be much appreciated :D

@thecroat - PEJIN from this forum is selling a čelo. http://www.forum.tambura.com.hr/showthread.php?t=1430 He lives in Sombor, Vojvodina. I don't know what kind of a čelo are you looking for. PozzSka bought a Đuretić čelo here in Croatia last summer and I was his "guide"... :D So if you'll stay in Zagreb we can meet and I'll show you around.

Evo broj od Jurkovića a usput si i taxi dobio ako neznaš kako doći do njega :krez: :top: Živio i sretno u kupovini!!!

PS: Ako neznaš pročitati nek ti netko prevede ( slabo divanim Engleški ) :)

@Hrvoje...oops..forgot to mention that I'm looking for a G celo and G brac. I'll be with the family when I go down and would have to talk to them about meeting up..but I'd be up for it if it's possible :D I'd like to get the deal don and over with..lol...

@buky1..Hvala za to! razumim Hrvatski ali samo moram vjezbat vise..lol (hope I said that right)

The celo I bought from Djuretic was originally tuned to G, I bought new strings and tuned it to A (making sure the tension was right as to not crush the face), but it should work with both tunings as long as the strings are right.

i want to do the same as you!
i have a G cello and i want to tune it to A

have 2 little problems:
1) i'm from Argentina so, first i'd need to know where to get them, prices, and also if i won't crush the instrument
2) for prim and brac i use electric guitar strings, good ones, and i was wondering if i could do the same with the cello and which are the strings i should use to play in A tune

thanks a lot!

cujemo se

please, need some help!

Howdy! :D
1. I think you can make deal with one of the major tambura strings producers, based on supplies for your orchestra(s). That's lot of money, I'm pretty sure some of them are willing to ship to Argentina ;) (perhaps Postonjski, he lives at Srebrnjak = Argentina :krez: ... joke... :bonk:)
2. I think this is not such a good idea, electric guitar strings and tambura strings are made from materials that differ significantly. Look on 1. :top:

Bye :)

i know, the sound is quite different... but i have no choice, unless i order thousands of packages of strings (for other instruments too)
but i've appointed your suggest and found Postonjski's address xD

Remark on the Postonjski was a joke...
Nevertheless, you can contact any or all of them.

I think hundreds of packages would be sufficient :top:

or try www.deligopicks.com owner's name is steve, he should ship to wherever you want.
