Carl Flesch or Galamian for cello
Former violinist turned cellist here.
Is there an equivalent scale system or collection of exercises for cello? I see editions of Carl Flesch and Galamian scale systems transposed for cello but I get the feeling they won't be addressing the the cello challenges especially well.
For example double stop scales in thirds on the cello would be dramatically different from violin.
Has anyone used these scale systems for cello? Is it common to use either Galamain or Flesch? If they are not the standard, who is?
I would like to purchase a scale book that covers double stop octaves thirds and sixths as well as dominant, diminished and augmented arpeggios like those books do but I don't see any on amazon. I can't tell which are the tried and true systems for cello.

The Feuillard book is perhaps the most common & comprehensive study book. It's got scales, arpeggios, and a variety of other exercises.

I haven't tried this well-rated one for double stops: RickMooney . Cello Professor likes it.
