Done for real!

As I wrote last time, I wanted to go once more to meet Guy at www.howviolins.fi to check the sound post. I think I had done a good job at fitting the sound post but I wasn't sure if it was now one the optimal position or if it had the correct tightness (=length). So that is what I did today.

Both visits to Guy have been really good. Both for the cello and me. He said I had indeed done a good job in fitting the sound post so he didn't need to take it out. I had put it a bit too far back though which he could easily correct. Having the sound post closer to the bridge foot increases the responsiveness of the cello.

Anyways, now the cello is really finished and only needs the maintenance any cello needs. I expect not to make many post in this blog anymore. Check how the second cello progresses on my second blog at Cello #2.
