Abstract
For a history and background of this violoncello, see links below.
The dataset includes:
- DICOM CT data folders for the cello body, at resolutions 100% (68GB), and also 2.2%, 5%, 10%, 30%, and 50%.
- DICOM CT data folders for the cello neck and scroll at 100% (19GB), and also 2.2%.
- STL files for the body, and for the neck at scroll.PDF files for a geometric reconstruction of the rib outline (inside, from the internal mold), with arching templates based on the CT data and on more generic information in Simone Sacconi's "The 'Secrets' of Stradivari." These drawings are dimensioned for a proportionally reduced instrument, where the diapason is reduced from 417mm to 400mm. The bout width dimensions revert to those like the Stradivari 'forma B' violoncellos, except for a slightly shorter lower bout.
- This instrument has exactly the outline of the 1697 Stradivari violoncello "Castelbarco" (Library of Congress, Washington DC).
