DIY electric cello- first look!

Like most schools, ours has an “instrument graveyard” full of instruments that are more expensive to repair than they’re worth. Over spring break, I took one of those cellos and made an electric cello from the usable parts. All it took was some basic shop tools and about $20 of extra materials! It’s still a work in progress as of this posting, but the basic design seems to be working very well.
