The production of cello

The cello evolved from the Viola de gamba in ancient Europe and has been popular since the 16th century. However, for a long time, the size of its musical instrument has not been fixed. After many years of practice and reform, it can be concluded. Today's cello is about twice the size of the violin. The bow is short and heavy, and the strings are octaves lower than the violin.

The status of cello

The timbre of the ancient cello is very soft and hazy. However, in the seventeenth century, due to the increased opportunities for playing in the square and the increased volume requirements, it was necessary to improve the ancient cello. After a period of trial and research, the cello was finally produced. Its improvement achievements lie in the soft and tensile tone, elegance, and charm, and its size is suitable for ensemble or marching performance. In the process of development, more composers led by Bach gave high praise and made many unforgettable famous songs, which enabled the cello to replace the popular ancient cello at that time and become the mainstream of this type of instrument in the 18th century. Since then, almost every composer has included the cello in the performance catalog, and the skill of the cello has been upgraded to a higher level. Among the string instruments, besides the violin, the cello is the most solo instrument.

Production of cello mold

The standard length of modern cello is 755mm. The internal mold of single-layer cello is made of 30mm thick wood, and can also be made of two or three layers of wood. A lot of supports are made around the mold of the second-floor plate so that the side plate can be attached to it at full height. Therefore, after the side plate is formed and glued to the supporting wood block, even if there is shrinkage, it will not have too much deformation. However, it is troublesome to stick the edge strip, and pay attention to the accuracy of the line and shape when sticking the second group of edge strips. The advantage of a three-layer wood mold is that it can better ensure the accuracy of the line and shape of the side panel frame when sticking the lining strip, and the biggest advantage is convenient demolding. It is also a full-height mold. It is convenient to control the shape and smoothness of the whole side panel frame.

The biggest disadvantage of the three-layer mold is that the periphery in the middle of the mold is hollow, and the side plate has no support surface. If the side plate is not dried thoroughly when bending, when the side plate is glued to the wood block at the end corner, the middle of the side plate will sag inward with the drying and shrinkage of the side plate, which will damage the smoothness and smoothness of the line. The solution is to stick one end of the side plate first, and then stick the other end after the side plate is dry.
