	Duport Stradivarius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Duport Strad, or Stradivarius, is a cello built in 1711 by Antonio Stradivari, and owned and played since 1974 by Mstislav Rostropovich.
		In 1812, Duport permitted Napoleon to handle it; a dent, still visible on the instrument, is said to have resulted from the emperor's incompetent handling of it, straddling it with his boots.
		The great 19th-century instrument maker Jean Baptiste Vuillaume used the Duport Strad as the primary model for the approximately three thousand celli that he built.

	Science Fair Projects - Stradivarius
		A Stradivarius (or "Strad") is a stringed instrument built by members of the Stradivari family, especially by Antonio Stradivari.
		Their individual qualities are considered worth distinguishing, and a Strad is often identified by the name of someone (often a famous musician) who formerly owned it, or regularly performed on it.
		Another famous story is about a Stradivarius Cello, known as the "Duport" which has the spur marks of Emperor Napoleon, who scratched the cello when he tried to play it.

	Antonio Stradivari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Latin form of his surname, "Stradivarius" - sometimes shortened to "Strad" - is often used to refer to his instruments.

		The Soil Strad of 1714 is owned by virtuoso Itzhak Perlman, and many consider it among the finest of all Stradivaris.

		His vivid image of sound was of "a large bubble with a thin clear shell of glass, filled with warm sweet liquid," full and deep, with a distinct edge.
		A photograph of the 1711 Duport Stradivari which served as the model for the Zygmuntowicz cello, held over the modern instrument.
		Since the cello was visually a close copy of the Duport, we chose to copy the varnish patina as well.

	The Duport Brothers, Cellists
		On the eve of the 1789 Revolution, Duport, sensing the coming debacle which would effectively destroy Parisian concert life for several years, fled the city to join his brother in Berlin.
		He had an amusing encounter with Napoleon, who insisted on trying out Duport's Stradivarius cello, exclaiming, "How the devil do you hold this thing, Monsieur Duport?" Duport was so obviously afraid that Napoleon would damage it, that Napoleon laughingly returned it to the cellist's more careful hands.
		Actually, Napoleon had made a small dent in the ribs of the cello, which may still be seen in the "Duport Strad" today.

		Duport's Essai sur la Doigt du Violoncelle, published around 1804, is a fascinating work, dealing with every aspect of the cello technique available to the soloist of his day.
		Duport's system of fingering is still the accepted standard, and the 24 tudes included as an appendix are also widely used.
		Duport stresses the importance of keeping the bow parallel to the bridge at all times.

		The French Strad copies are often oversized all the way around–longer and wider, which can give them a truly formidable appearance and feel, to say nothing of the volume of sound they produce.
		As for arching height, the French makers tended toward flatness; for cellos, they used as their model the "Duport," which is probably the lowest arch Stradivari ever executed.
		The result is a more powerful sound, but if it is not well handled – if the saddle is omitted, and if it is not feathered properly to the edge – the result is a mighty stiff piece of wood, with a correspondingly edgy sound.

	Historique du violoncelle, la famille des cordes frottées
		The cause of the superiority of the old Cremona violin has been much discussed and has by many, from the late seventeenth century onwards, been thought to lie (apart from fineness of workmanship in every part and careful choice of wood) in the composition of the varnish.
		Experiments carried out in London, Paris, and elsewhere, have, however, shown it is quite possible today to produce an instrument which, played behind a screen in alternation with a genuine "Strad", is indistinguishable from it in tone, even by experienced connoisseurs.
		It is sometimes stated that the violin is exceptional amongst instruments in not having changed with time.

		Among his most famous cellos are the 'Duport' (1711), which became one of the chief models on which J. Vuiillaume based his work; the 'Batta' (1714); and the 'Piatti' (1720).
		All Stradivari's early cellos, until 1701, the year he made the famous 'Servais' cello, were on the large model, that is, a body length of approximately 30 inches or somewhat over.
		Part of the stipulation of Gertrude Clarke Whitehall in giving a quartet of Strad instruments to the Library of Congress was that they were to be performed on in concerts every year.

	How are old unlabled violins appraised?
		For example, even Stradivari used varying qualities of wood depending on the period in which the instrument was made and indeed in response to the cajoling of a rich client (for example the magnificent "Duport" cello).
		In any case, a given maker would already have earned a reputation (good or bad) through prolonged use of his or her instruments by large numbers of musicians over a very long period of time.
		They say that in the early 1800s Strads were twice as costly as del Gesus, but they have nothing at all to say about original prices.

		As the French historian Antoine Vidal later recounted, 'He listened with pleasure and, as soon as the piece was over he approached Duport, complimented him, and, grasping the cello with his usual foecefulness, asked, How the devil do you hold this, Monsieur Duport?

		The Mantegazza instrument is very close in size to the Stradivari 'CV' model and is particularly interesting with regards to setup, as it is in unaltered condition.
		Body lengths of the two Strad and the Mantegazza models are 409, 410, 409 millimeters respectively, string lengths of all the instruments come in about 368 millimeters, only marginally shorter than a mid-sized modern viola.
		This form was later cut down by his sons but can be reconstructed with reasonable certainty from extant instruments.

		For several years, I have focused on the Stradivari's 'G' form and associated drawings (1708) preserved in Cremona as a source for my violin designs.
		This large form (just a millimeter shy of Stradivari's early 'long Strad' B form of 1692), yields a long, broad, deep instrument with quite a long stop of 199 millimeters.
		All my 'cellos are based on a reconstruction of the Stradivari form B and on his extant form B drawings.
