Bravo, excellent lesson. I wondered how my cellos, wood was chosen, how it's cut, aged, how weather, and temps all came together. Great, thank you so thankful for you.

[@CelloCoach]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@HenryTyme]

Greatly appreciate this channel for sure, thanks a million. Enjoying woodworking, this was great. The (edit) cut at 4:29 was disheartening, as he was sharing info. Although it was viewed as "secret" the gentleman enjoyed informing viewers of the wood origin, those who truly know, do not mind sharing because its ultimately the skill with the wood and not just the wood itself. Those who don't know conceal and gatekeep. After all, how many people can actually go to the exact origin. Only a few of us have passports and means. Smile*

[@guitarphil27]

This is awesome! I've been into woodworking the last 2 years and still learning a lot. My goal before i die is to make my own cello. Maybe when I'm old? ;P Thanks for the video and the time to interview!

[@CelloCoach]

Thanks! More videos upcoming soon!

[@JoeKrol]

I’ve been playing guitar for over 40 years. I have recently become enamored with cello music. I love it for the relaxing property it has and how soulful and emotionally it can be played. I’m also a person who repairs guitars so the construction and the woods are of peak interest to me. I’m actually thinking of learning to play cello but I’m on a fixed income and the cost of the instrument is prohibitive at this point. I love your channel and have subscribed. Thank you for taking the time to bring it to us!!!

[@CelloCoach]

Thank you Joe - you can buy a cello online for less than 1000$US, so there are options also, you can rent a higher quality cello for much less

[@Henrik.Yngvesson]

Wow, it's a "Dalahäst" Dala Horse above the doorway. I live in Dalarna and we are the heart of the Swedish tradition midsummer where we dance the "små grodorna" and play violin folk music.

[@robertmaya3820]

I’m really enjoying this new series! I always wonder about some of the things you discussed. Thanks for making this!!!!!

[@CelloCoach]

It is a world that I love, this archaic, secretive cello making world tucked away in northern Italy. Glad you like it too, Robert!

[@derkallert9017]

Very interesting facts about the trees/wood. Thank you, great to have you back online! Obviously puppy is fine as well :)

[@CelloCoach]

Hello Australia! Glad to be back in the studio! How's your projects going?

[@REQtip]

Glad you're back!

[@CelloCoach]

Yes! Thanks Lela!

[@Kenji1685]

We missed you!

[@Darkslide99]

This was so interesting. I never knew this much went into making a cello!

[@JMcCoy-zl5yg]

Wonderful video! Looking forward to more like this!

[@CelloCoach]

Thanks Jack!

[@banyanphotography]

That was fascinating 🤩

[@CelloCoach]

Glad you think so!

[@Evannnnnn]

Thx a lot for this discovery !!

[@CelloCoach]

My pleasure!

[@MGBode]

Enjoy the Luthier NFO, and all

[@CelloCoach]

Glad to like it!

[@zuzana676]

Very interesting! I had to take look on my cello and search for the place, where the two slices od the wood should be glued together :DDD

[@robdean5464]

Welcome back :)

[@CelloCoach]

Thanks!

[@marcie1781]

Hello! I recently just started watching your videos, They're really good! I was wondering how I can make my sight-reading better quickly. Could You recommend/post something for me? Thanks!

[@wristmax]

Lovelly doggy :D 3:16

[@CelloCoach]

He's making aruckus as a write this comment! Ambro says "woof" (hi in dog)

[@joannecordelia]

Arborists. There may be specific names for music instrument arborists. Many trees are no longer available. 🥺

[@CelloCoach]

He did mentioned (off camera) a special title for an arborist who know how to find trees for instruments. Yes, deforestation is a blight we are a part of yes, though we need context. I think we all agree Brasilian pernambuco is endangered due to our desire for this wood in our bows, yet the amount of maple and/or spruce furniture vs cellos/violins in households worldwide is no even a number worth comparing. Still, we all need to be vigilant and conserve as much as possible.

[@joannecordelia]

Jonathan Humphries . . .and yet the sound we get from these woods cannot be compared. ☺️ it’s wonderful we are able to keep these instruments in order to play these beautiful pieces.

[@joshuasalmon65]

Do they age the wood before creating the cello?

[@CelloCoach]

Yes!

[@professorzerocool]

You have great hair 😅

[@AGC828]

Did u hear Edgar right? He had access to the same wood that was used in strads..? If not why not??

[@victordaley5638]

I'm a cellist with hair almost exactly like yours, just a little shorter

[@ohazi]

Doggie! :-D

[@CelloCoach]

Yup, and he was such a good boi.

[@kittyplays2324]

Idk what wood my cello is made out of, but my cello is heavy...

[@CelloCoach]

It could be a more dense maple, but remember the weight can vary. Edgar makes "light" cellos whilst his luthier colleagues make more "robust" cellos. They all sound amazing!
