spacebugWhen s4 and I moved into our new place and were searching for a storage locker, there was one without a lock on it with a cello in it. I'd always assumed it belonged to a tennant, but I checked with the sorta kinda caretaker- my friend and coworker J- who says the old owners of the cello moved out years ago, and I should take it before someone else does. Awww, yeah.
I'm excited, but I've no way of knowing if this thing is at all in working order. String instruments aren't at all my expertise (all I know about them I know from orchestration class), but I've always loved cellos and maintained that if I learned another instrument, it'd be the one. Anyone have any advice? Karlyn? r4c? pied piper? Unfortunately, I didn't find a bow with it.
I don't even know what size it is, or how to tell. It looks as though it needs new strings- that's about as far as I can get. Hmm.

And, umm, if you ever in the future find that you've lost interest in the cello, and that it's merely consuming space in your tiny apartment which could be better put to other uses, I would be happy to take it out of your way. :)
