Wednesday's cello allows the titular character an emotional release, says cocreator and showrunner Miles Millar. “She’s so contained, this is a release for her.”
She had so few things and everything’s very pared back. Everything in her space was so agonized over because there were only 10 objects in her whole side of the room. The cello was central to that. We sourced different versions of it. I think we got about six in the end, if I remember rightly, of different styles. More antique ones, more up-to-date ones…At one point, it was almost like a car-lacquer finish, with a super-high shine. A black, modern one.
The older cellos were all bought used, and none were especially valuable. Some were worn and damaged.There’s no point in buying six identical or brand-new ones. They don't have the feel of somebody who’s played it for years.I would love to be able to tell you the exact history, but they were scoured from all sorts of antique shops, and they came in from all over the place. We were in Romania, but we brought stuff in from London, from New York.
The grains in the wood, the knocks and marks where people have played it in the past, all of that history we wanted to keep, but we wanted to just get rid of the majority of the color and the warmth inherent in those type of instruments. There were certain little quirks to it, which made it individual, and it was beautiful.We liked the visual of a black instrument. And also, the cello is a melancholy instrument. It sounds sad. The attitude of a cello feels very Wednesday.
