Some cello-related blogs I enjoy are:
- Paul Katz’s excellent blog with many master class videos from fine cellists.
https://www.cellobello.com/ - David Finckel’s 100 brief lessons on aspects of the instrument and techniques.
http://cellotalks.com/list - My Seattle luthier, Scott A Smith, works on viola da gamba family instruments as well as violin family ones. He removed an evil spirit from an instrument of mine. It turned out it had a defective fingerboard which was twisting its neck, making it uncooperative to play. No one liked playing it. A week or so at Scott’s and a lovely, friendly cello came back to me! Scott, the ghostbuster luthier!!
https://scottasmithviolins.com/ - Luthier Andrew Carruthers’s blog with ideas!!
