Wilke Cellos

 Throughout my 46 years of being a musical instrument maker I’ve focused on developing my craftsmanship and sound quality. My years of experience have allowed me to collaborate with both amateurs and professionals from around the world.  Together we can create a unique and personalized instrument to elevate your musical message.


Wilke cellos, elevate your musicianship!

I prefer to personally meet musicians so I can understand what sound they prefer and which cello model will help them achieve that sound. As a cellist I have the unique ability to understand the struggles that cellists face. With a lifetime of experience doing restorations, adjustments and having built over 200 instruments for some of the finest musician in the world I can help you achieve your musical goals.
