Building a Cello

Graduation done?

I think I might be there with the graduation. The thicknesses are now in the right ball park to where they should be. Getting better is maybe out of my reach for now. I don't want to build a system to measure the Chladni patterns. And anyways I don't really know what I should do to change the patterns. I have also had some trouble measuring the tap tones. Maybe I'll post some of the spectra I have measured. I maybe don't quite know the right position where to hole not where to tap. So I maybe see is mixture of frequencies of all sort of modes. The final step for the front would be to add the bass bar. Then I think I would be ready to glue it up. I now think that I will be put it all together and once I am sort of ready I maybe try to find a luthier with whom I could set up the cello. If I then need to open up the body and adjust the plate thicknesses then maybe it is not too bad.

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