I am dusting off my cello after 20 years or so of not playing.


Any recommendations for the following?


Someone to have a look at the sound post which I think has slipped a bit.


A local teacher - I was grade 8 standard and would like to get back there and work on my technique.


A localish orchestra


Thanks in advance.

Hi Oxalis

I would highly recommend as a luthier Anette Fajardo in Honor Oak, on 07950 399 439. Lots of professionals take their cellos to her and she is a thoroughly nice person and charges reasonably. For teachers there is Kim Mackrell on Scutari Road who has worked as a professional orchestral and chamber music player as well as a teacher. Even if you do not go with her as a teacher, make sure you get on her Chamber Cellos mailing list for fantastic cello ensemble courses, some in St Stephen's Church Dulwich over a weekend and some slightly longer residential courses in beautiful settings around the country. There is a Chamber Cellos website which gives Kim's details and details of courses. Another great teacher is Gwyn Pritchard (has his own website) who teaches in Camberwell but I do not know if he is taking on new students at the moment.

Good luck with the playing and hope to see you on a course!

    • Last time the toilets were out of operation in the station M&S we were all told to go out and up to Sainsbo! Certainly didn't close (I'm not suggesting that's the thing the library should do!)
