Olsi plays an extraordinary 1830s cello by renowned Italian violin maker Raffaele Gagliano, made available to him by the Eric Feldbusch Foundation. This instrument was gifted by Queen Elisabeth of Belgium to Eric Feldbusch in 1960 on the occasion of the founding of the piano trio 'Queen Elisabeth'.
