7. How a Cello is Made - Simply for Strings
Cellos can be made out of different timbers, and some are made from aluminium or carbon fibre. Most luthiers and even larger factories still prefer to use the ...
The construction of the cello demands a large amount of time, concentration and years of mastery. How a cello is made - every part by hand A cello takes an expert, trained craftsman approximately 200 to 300 actual labour hours to make. But, this doesn’t take into account the whole process. In between tasks there will be waiting time, such as when parts have been glued, or during the varnishing process. This can add days and even a couple of weeks to the project. Below are some of the steps luthiers follow to craft a cello. To begin with, the mould is made. This framework is used as a guide for shaping and sizing the body parts, and is also used for securing the body during its gluing process. It is made to the exact internal measurements of the cello, as the ribs are fitted to this for setting in their final shape. Templates are also made for use in shaping the back and top plates. Once the mould is made, the four corner blocks and two end blocks are cut, then shaped to fit their location on the mould. Six ribs are cut to dimension and bent into shape, very carefully using heat to soften the wood just enough to bend without fracturing it. A heating iron is used in conjunction with a bending strap. The ribs are assembled and glued together with the blocks, then secured to the mould by a combination of clamping methods and left for the glue to set. The linings are now cut to size, bent on the heating iron and when the ribs are set, the linings are glued in place. They provide...

I've spent most of my life as a machinist/fabricator/designer creating stuff out of metal and after recently retiring, have decided to spend more time working with wood. I started by building a Maloof rocking chair for my new granddaughter and am now focusing my efforts on building a cello. I played cello in a secondary instruments class back in high school and have always been fascinated by their sound and design, and now that I have the time, have decided to build one.

13. Jordan Electric Cellos
Since all my cellos are built by hand, this was no problem for me. In 2022 I was commissioned to build “as light an electric cello as possible” for Abbie who ...
Being an amateur performing electric cellist myself, I've spent literally years of thoughts and dreams on the question of what the ultimate electric cello design would be for me. This drive towards perfection causes me to continually consider what could and should be done, that hasn't been done yet. It took quite a few years to get from the rough initial sketches to the fully evolved designs I'm offering now. The Jordan Ariel Model Electric Cello, my 2003 design, represents my personal vision, truly the cello of my dreams. This striking design while visually asymmetrical maintains symmetry in its contact points. This design is far more complicated to construct than my Virage Model requiring large complex joints and precision routed channels. I think of the electric cello not just as a functional instrument, but as a work of art to be interpreted by an artist with a vision. The vision has materialized and the dream has become reality!
