Building a Cello

The pegs

I met Pekka Untamala again today. We had a good discussion on the next steps. He instructed me on the important things to consider with the pegs, the end pin and the bridge. On top of this he also lent me some of his tools needed to fit them.

I first started to fit the pegs. With the first peg I learned how slowly one needs to go so that the pegs do not end up too loose. With the first one I made the mistake. Luckily I had shaved the peg smaller than it came and so I could fit one of the other pegs into that hole, just needed to shave less off of that so that it would be OK. I left all the pegs now too long and they all go only a little through the hole. I want to do the final fitting with Pekka.

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