These are full-size drawings of a 29 7/16 inch (748 mm) Stradivarius pattern Cello. The plans do not replicate a particular historical instrument, but are accurate in general terms to Stradivari's patterns, and provide a good basis for building a cello. The information is presented on four sheets, each 33 x 24 inches (84 x 60 cm). Sheet 1: Cello Front (showing outline, long arching, cross arching, bass bar, bridge position, soundpost, neck and end blocks, f-holes, etc.) Sheet 2: Cello Back (showing outline, long arching, cross arching, contours and thicknesses, etc.) Sheet 3: Neck & Scroll (showing scroll front and back, scroll templates, shoulder end of neck, plan and side views of scroll, neck and body, bridge, fingerboard nut, tailpiece saddle, fingerboard, pegs. etc. Sheet 4: Cello Mould (showing a two-piece inside mould - plan and side views, with all clamping cauls and other constructional details.
A useful book to accompany the plan is The Art of Violin Making. Although this book does not specifically cover making a Cello, many of the procedures, methods and techniques are very similar, and all the information on tools and materials apply equally to the making of a cello. The book may be purchased separately from Amazon and other bookshops.
