Building Process
Following steps have been performed to transform a cello into a lamp:
1) Prepare Cello by removing tail piece, bridge, strings and pegs
2) Separate the fingerboard from the cello neck with a Japanese saw
3) Drill a line in the cello neck for the cable
4) Drill a hole in the cello scroll, pull the cable through and tuck in the light fitting
5) Drill a hole in the cello body directly at the lower end of the neck and at the lowest body part connecting to the stand and pull the cable through
6) Glue the fingerboard back on the cello neck (cable hidden inside) – I used a Polyurethane glue, which expands when applied
7) Build the stand out of different layers of wood (in this case 3 layers of wild oak)
Drill holes to fit the tailgut
Remove the endpin of the cello and replace it with a screw to securely connect cello and stand
Paint the stand
8) Assemble Cello by reconnecting tail piece, bridge, strings and pegs
9) Tune the cello and use the lamp
