The “Leduc” Guarneri del Gesù is one of the most iconic violins in the world, and one of the last instruments made by the legendary maker. For the past six years, we have had the great privilege of loaning this extraordinary violin to the incomparable Augustin Hadelich

To mark what would have been Giuseppe Guarneri’s 328th birthday, we celebrate the remarkable musicians who bring his instruments to life and remain at the heart of what we do.

We were honored to be part of the Queen Elisabeth Competition 2026, with Tarisio's Founder, Jason Price, presenting the 'Casals' Goffriller cello in a series of talks.

Pictured here speaking alongside fellow experts and members of the competition jury, Jason shared insights on one of the most celebrated instruments in musical history, reinforcing Tarisio's commitment to scholarship, expertise, and the preservation of fine stringed instruments.

Throughout the final round of the competition, visitors also had the opportunity to view the 'Casals' Goffriller cello, the instrument most closely associated with Pablo Casals and a lasting symbol of his extraordinary artistic legacy.

Congratulations to this year's laureates, and thank you to everyone at the Queen Elisabeth Competition for an inspiring celebration of musical excellence.

The ‘Casals’ Goffriller follows a remarkable early journey through 19th-century England, shaped by a culture of collecting that drew many important Italian instruments out of their original context and into the hands of dealers and private owners.

First recorded in the possession of John van Somer of Stamford Hill, the cello later passed through W. E. Hill & Sons and Glasgow dealer David Laurie, reflecting the active and often commercially driven trade in fine instruments during the Victorian period. By the late 19th century, it had already become part of a shifting narrative of attribution, expertise, and evolving connoisseurship—moving between identities as it changed hands across Europe.

Today, this layered provenance remains an essential part of the instrument’s story, tracing how the ‘Casals’ Goffriller came to be understood as one of the defining Venetian cellos of its era.

The finals of the Queen Elisabeth Cello Competition will take place in Brussels next week, where the First Laureate will be awarded the extraordinary opportunity to perform on the ‘Casals’ Goffriller for the next four years.

Once owned and played by Pablo Casals for more than six decades, the instrument remains one of the most significant Venetian cellos of the early 18th century. In a gesture that connects legacy and future, the Fundació Pau Casals continues its mission of preserving Casals’s artistic and humanistic vision.
