Re: Not a mandolin, but…I built a cello!
I love it. Good work.
Re: Not a mandolin, but…I built a cello!
Wow. That cello actually does sound quite nice. I was skeptical with your rather haphazard method that it would come out so well. For instance, I would have thought that looking at a real cello would have been the first step, not something to look at in the middle of building. Excellent. Keep up the good work.

Where do you get a cigar box that large?
Nice job!
I'm amazed how good it sounds, at least in your recording. It would be great if you could get a real Cellist to give it a whirl. Make a recording if you do!

Paul, it looks like it might be an artist/painters box. He even says in the video that it smelled of turpentine.
