Hedda RH Dyrnes plays a cello made by Yann Besson. She says:
“I instantly fell in love with the sound, and couldn't forget about it after trying it for the first time. I had to travel back two weeks earlier than planned to try it again and take it with me. It is very easy to play and has a rich and big sound when I need it! »
