The three parts for the body area ready to be glued up! The front and back plates are as ready as I will get the now. I hope they are good enough. I haven't done proper tuning of the tap tones. I tried holding on various places and tap and other places but I've had trouble making much sense of all that. And I am concerned that if I now remove material from either plate, I might remove too much from a wrong place I will now glue it all up and wait until the whole thing is ready before returning to it. If anything I think the top has a higher note so maybe I need to reduce the thickness of the front plate, or of the bass bar. But that can also be done later as the top should come off fairly easily. So I will now finish what I can, and once setting up the cello with a luthier I can get feedback on the general sound of the cello and maybe advice on how to fix it.
