<p>I'm wondering what happened with this cello?</p>
<p></p>
<p>my first advise would be to attempt salvage of it, and play it, but if it is determined to be beyond repair, it should make a nice start for some sort of home-built fiddle!</p>

Nice video!<br />
This guy seems to have replaced the carved top with a flat one making the fit easier (neck/fretboard to top). The rough materials I have still have the top and body integrity so I'm looking at the fit between top curve and fretboard to mate up.<br />
It's all in my mind for now since I want to finish pursuing the license plate guitars I've started.<br />
On the dulcimer front the interesting youtubes I found as a result of the link you provided are;<br />

Are you just going to take off the neck and use the body as a soundbox? Then it goes just like any other CBG build, except you can't open it up during construction. Choose your own VSL.

Send me that clunker cello! Put some frets on in and you've got an upright bass!
