Getting feedback on the cello

I've been wanting to get some feedback on the cello from somebody who knows about these things for a while now. Firstly to decide some important measurements before I continue with the neck, secondly to see if I need to modify the plates etc. before I close the body. I finally managed to find somebody, Pekka Untamala. He is not a cello builder himself but has great experience is repairing and setting up instruments. I spent almost an hour with him going through a 1/2 cello he has and looking at my cello. He also explained many things related to the various proportions of the neck and the fingerboard and the body and how they affect the playability. I am so thank for him for all his insights. Looks like I've so far managed to go mostly in the right direction. I will make the fingerboard a little narrower at the bridge end, about 56 mm. And maybe thin out the top plate at the edges. But other than that, things look promising!
