Double Bass I want to make a travel cello...

[design]

Hello,

I’m looking to buy plans to make my own Prakticello travel cello, also known as the Travielo. It’s a gift for a friend. The late designer Ernest Nussbaum used to sell the plans at Travelcello.net prior to 2014.

I’d appreciate any help or tips you can offer.
Is there a cello luthier’s forum you know of?

Thanks.

Update!
I tracked down some plans and my friend Frank built one! He mainly makes acoustic guitars, so we got some help from a cello luthier for the peg placement and final set up. Have now gifted it to a young well-deserving cellist.

Where did you find the plans? One of my daughters is just starting the cello, and I wanted to look into the possibility of building one of these for her.
Do you mind if I ask what it wound up costing in materials?

Hi there. Did anyone ever locate plans. I've spent many hours searching internet. I did find a photograph of them, so they do exist but then blown up, none of the measurements were readable.
