As a semi-retired luthier of guitars since 1969 I've enjoyed watching your videos. I never knew that any bowed instruments had neck to side joints like the Spanish guitar. Guess we are never too old to learn new information. Thank you.
Hello Andy, Thank you for your reply! Yes, this method was used a lot by European violin makers during the 17-19th century. It was nice to try it out for this project. Best regards, Geerten
Great set of videos ! I`ve made a few cigar box style guitars , making the boxes also . I`ve also made a PRS style semi hollow Vela style guitar and a skateboard guitar . they all came out pretty well and sound very good ! I love working with old hand tools as much as possible , so I admire your work very much !! I watched a video today of a 12 yr. old girl called Canen doing Ain`t No Sunshine When She`s Gone and there was a really nice solo by a guy playing a well worn cello and it gave me the chills hearing it !! So after hearing that and watching you r work , I`m going to try making one for myself. I`m sure it won`t be easy but being retired , I have plenty of time !! Thanks for your videos !!! Buddy Milton
Hello Peggy, thanks for your kind comment, and nice to hear that you made a number of instruments yourself. With all this experience, it's a great next step to make a cello. Please note that the methods shown in my videos were performed for the sake of historical research, and that modern makers use somewhat different steps. For your cello, I would recomment to use the modern way. Good luck with the cello project! Best regards for the Netherlands, Geerten
Dear Amon, thank you for your kind reply, that's much appreciated. As for the CT-scans, these are controlled by the Brussels Musical Instruments Museum, since the scans were made from their instruments. I personally can not help you with that, sorry. Best regards, Geerten
@@Boussu_Inside_Out Thank you Geerten for your kind response. This information is really valuable as well, so I'm grateful for that. After rewatching your video for a seccond time, I'm still amazed by your craftsmanship. Great work! Amon :)

Super great series of videos. Are those CT scans publicly available? It would be greatly appreciated! Cheers
