Cello: Interview and demonstration with principal Jerry Grossman

(orchestra music) [Jerry] This is a cello.

It's made out of wood primarily.

And the hollow box and resonating chamber, it's like all the members of the string family, the same essential shape with two f-holes here.

This is the bridge which carries the vibrations of the strings when the strings are made to vibrate by the bow, the string vibrates and the vibration go through the bridge on to the belly of the cello, carried by the sound post which is under this foot of the bridge, and that carries the vibration to the back of the cello, so that gets both the back and the top vibrating and it really amplifies the sound of the vibrating string makes.

And the endpin of the cello is this piece here which is made out of steel I guess and it's very sharp at the end and we use it to place the cello on the floor so that it doesn't slide all over the place and we'd be chasing it all over the mat if it didn't stay put like that.

And sometimes when we have floors that are not made out of wood or soft enough material, for example a slight floor when you're playing on a church, the endpins will go sliding and then make a rather annoying sound.

(orchestra music) I acquire the cello about five years ago.

It was made in Chicago, this is an American cello, a lot of string instruments, you know the famous instruments by Stradivarius and Guarnerius they're Italian, and the Italian instruments are generally speaking the most coveted.

But this was made by a man named Carl Becker Sr. in 1929 and Carl Becker Sr. is emerging as the great American maker of the 20th century.

There are many of his instruments around and he made not only cellos, he made violins and viola's.

His son Carl Jr, was also a great maker, and his grandson is running the shop now and that's from whom I purchased this cello.

Before I had this I had an old Italian cello, it was made by a member of the Guarnerius family, Joseph Guarnerius filius Andreas, Joseph the son of Andreas Guarnerius.

And I was having trouble with my old Italian instrument.

You know old instruments are very, they're hard to adjust, they're finicky when the weather changes, they're a little tricky to play, and I was pretty frustrated with my instrument at that time.

And this student comes in with this Becker cello and it sounded great.

I said, let me play thing, so I played a few notes and I said, "Oh God it's so easy to play, "I wish my cello were like this."

And I never forgot that, and then years later when I decided I needed to sell my cello, I said, "Well, what I'm going to get?

What I'm going to play? So I put the word out, "Anybody know of any old Becker's out there?"

And sure enough this came to me.

(orchestra music) My father was an amateur violinist and a music lover, and there was always music in the house when I was growing up.

I grew up in Cambridge Mass, just about half a mile from the Harvard campus.

My father didn't teach there, I was a townie, all right?

But I had two older brothers and one of them played the piano and one of them played the violin, and my father had in mind that with three boys, "Well, let's have a piano trio."

So I was the designated cellist, and I started with piano lessons, but that, I didn't take to the piano in particular, reading two lines at once was like way over my head.

And I was getting cello lessons, so I remember this, I was brought to my very first cello lesson, I was all excited, but I didn't confess to my parents that I had no idea what a cello was.

I was eight years old, and they said, "You're going to play the cello."

Great, I'm going to play the cello.

I didn't know what it was.

So I walked in to my lesson and there was my teacher and they had an instrument there for me, I looked at it, "Aha!

So that's what it is." And now here I am.

(orchestra music) There was one year, my second year of taking lessons where I would go without unpacking my cello from week to week, and I saved, it was a local music school, it's doing very well now called the Longy School of Music in Cambridge.

And my teacher there was a woman named Hannah Sherman.

She wrote on my report card, you know I got my little report, and I got a D.

And it said, "Jerry has made as much progress "as he can without practicing."

I practiced a little, not much.

It was when I was 13 or 14 that I really got interested in it.

And from then on it was very hard to separate me from the cello.

(orchestra music) I tell my students that we spent as cellist 95% of our training learning to play the melody, and 5% of our training learning other things.

And then once you're out playing professionally you realized that you're going to play 95% of the time following other people who are playing the melody. (orchestra music)
