Building a Cello

Final arching of the back part IV

4/5/2020

I did a bit of scraping today. Th back is a little rough still and needs to be refined but I am pretty close to the final shape. I think Barker wrote that one should be careful not to take templates etc. too strictly. And in fact Strobel also stresses that the templates were for his cello but we should make our own cello. I am taking that as chance to make my own choices. Once refined, the current arching of the back is beautiful in my opinion. I feel more and more that I would now really benefit if I had well made cello to study. Reading books can't quite replace that.

    My son is outgrowing his cello soon. Could there be a better reason to learn how to make one :).
