Bass bar part III

I glued the bass bar yesterday. I should have put more protection on the outside of the front, on elf the clamps left some marks. I hope I can get them away still. Otherwise the gluing went well and the bass bar fit really well.

Today and transferred the scaled bass bar heights from Strobel on the bass bar and roughly cut it to shape. Strobel stresses that the bass bar was made for his cello and may not be suitable for others, on the other hand he also says that it is not as important as many make it.

I will now not remove too much material from the plates, and also not pay not to much attention to the bass bar. Hopefully by the time the cello is ready I have the chance to meet up with a luthier to set up the cello and check it all round. At that point we can still open the cello and fix a few things if needed.
