Hi, I really really want to learn to play the cello but I don’t have the cash for it. However, I have access to lots of wood and I know a couple of carpenters. Is it possible to make a cello or is this a horrible idea? Btw, I have no experience with a cello, only guitar, violin, and piano. Does anyone have plans, blueprints, or instructions on how to make this?
Ive read up on those Strobel books, and I am going to attempt to build something smaller first to see if this is possible at all. So, ive decided to build a violin. Does anyone have access to a Stradivari diagram or drawing that I can model my violin upon?

i’ve been looking for sheet music for violin and cello. but i don’t mean classical i rather have something a little different. and with me being 14 could it possibly be free or at least cheap if i need to ask a parent to buy it for me.

I’ve been playing piano for about a year and have passed the grade 1 exam with merit. I can read music well, and have progressed at a fast rate on the piano (I only had one 45 minute lesson a week for about 30 weeks). I am interested in starting up another instrument and after some research have narrowed it down to either the violin and the cello. Which, in your opinion, would be easier to learn, and would be more complementary to the piano?

I’ve been playing the cello for what I count as 3 years now. I was never any good, mostly because it didn’t really interest me, but last year I was inspired and really started to enjoy it. I now take private lessons, and though I’m not as good as the other kids in the orchestra (some of whom have been playing and taking private lessons for more than 7 years) I still like it. Here’s the situation. Our school is small, and in our orchestra we now have 9 violins, 3 violas, 7 cellos, and 1 bass. Since we’re so unbalanced, I often get put on the bass part and some of the cellos who can easily read tenor and treble clef get put on violin 2 and viola parts. Next year, our bass player and one cello will be leaving and we might get one new violin, but we’ll still be unbalanced, so I thought it might be neat to play the bass. I tried it at camp a while ago and enjoyed it. What do you think? Would it be easy for me to learn? In songs where the bass & cello parts are the same, I’d still play cello
but I thought really learning the bass would be cool since I’d probably be playing that part on the cello anyway. I doubt I could take lessons if I wanted to continue the cello, so do you think it’d be easy to learn? or should I stick with the cello?
