The cello nut is a small raised piece of wood that sits at the top of the fingerboard, running perpendicular to the neck. Its width corresponds to the neck material underneath it and is designed to fit snugly onto the neck. The nut features four curved grooves, one for each string, which keep the cello strings in place and slightly elevated above the fingerboard.
The soundpost of a stringed instrument is made from spruce. It has two functions - sound and structure. The soundpost carries sound from the soundboard to the back of the instrument, amplifying the sound of the strings. Correct positioning is crucial for the desired sound quality. The soundpost also provides support to the top plate, along with the bass bar. It prevents cracking of the spruce top caused by the treble foot of the bridge under the higher-sounding strings.

It distributes string tension away from the centre of the cello towards the endpin, relieving pressure on the cello's body, and supports the tailgut attached to the bottom of the cello.
