Hello.
Sorry for my English.
I live in Minsk, Belarus.
I repair guitars and made few for myself. Rock vocalist and guitarist too:)
After watching videos of 2Cellos I started to like cello.
My elder son started to learn play cello in music school.
I was repaired your 1/4 cello (moscow factory cello).
And now I think to make new cello for him.
I think 5 strings cello will more interesting.
Not so easy to find good tonewood in Belarus.
I planning to use simple wood (plain maple).
Also think to make not full classic cello
But with some modern feature.
