The author describes the process of cello building clearly and quite precisely, and with a much appreciated sense of humor. He refers to his books on violin building, because the biggest difference is size and wood expense. I also purchased the violin books, and am glad I did, as there is valuable supplementary information therein.
The book is excellent and reasonably priced.

In preparation for building a cello, I have successfully built a violin using Mr. Strobel’s “Violin Making Step by Step”. I have reasonalble amatuer woodworking skills and simple but adequate tools and space. I also reviewed all of the reasonably obtainable sources on violin constuction and found Mr. Strobel’s books to be more helpful than most. The author recommends the first time builder of a cello to first build a viloin in his preface to “Cello Making” and I heartily agree. The price of the wood is much cheaper and techniques can be mastered on a smaller scale. The price of his book is about that of one cello lesson and it will last a lot longer.
