Hrfm. Damn.

So s4 and I went downtown to Givens Violins this afternoon.

The cello is, according to them, worthless. They said with the money it'd take to fix it, I could get a better cello.) They didn't tell me specifically what was wrong with it, or how much it would cost to repair it, but I think it has a lot of gaps where it's coming apart that you can't really see.

Oh well. It was a fun fantasy for a couple days, and I'm no poorer save the parking meter (unless I want to take up ebay on one of many full cello outfits for under $200- but I guess I don't really trust those for some reason). Guess I'll stick to woodwinds for now.

I don't actually have any information on how you could acomplish this, but you should find an apprentice luthier who'd be willing to work on it for free, just for the practice. I know there's a major school for luthiers in Red Wing, so a lot of them end up in the cities after school. Either that or just start adding odd attachments and/or electronics to it until it does something cool.
