Cellos

Chladni

I made this cello in 1976 at the start of my career. It honors the memory of Ernst Chladni who pioneered the study of vibrating string instruments and musical acoustics. The designs on the scroll and the interior are visualizations of vibrating patterns. The instrument can be heard in the Links section.
