Adelaide International Cello Festival 2011 - Cello Making Challenge

How long does it take to make a cello? -- it's one of those "piece of string" questions; there's no definitive answer, however one man, a master, working with great care, intent on finishing the cello "in the white" to a super-precise standard may take around two and a half months. The term "in the white" incidentally, is a maker's term for an instrument on which the woodwork is complete but which has not yet been varnished. In the Adelaide International Cello Festival "Cello Challenge", seven masters from the Australasian region, led by Frank Ravatin from France, have chosen the unusual option of combining forces to construct a cello in the white, not in ten weeks, but in ten days. To achieve the end result in the time given, therefore, requires much careful planning and a genuine team effort from all of the makers on site. Success is by no means guaranteed -- it would take but one serious miscalculation or an inability to meet daily work schedules by two or three percent for the project to fail.
