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.

Even if it's not operable in the typical way, I'm positive you could make some neat sound on it if you tried. Perhaps not normal cello sounds, but it's worth being creative with.
Sorry it's not a workable cello...but if you ever want to borrow a violin, or a djembe or a bass or guitar or tambourine or something like that for your crazy musicness I can help you there.
Otherwise, if you're bored/have time/feel like it renting a cello costs like $50 bucks a month. I rented one for my sis once just for fun.

Thanks, lady! By the way, we *did* stop down to the Oakwood with the time left on our meter (probably not enough time for tea, but time to say hi...) except the buzzer box has no names and I didn't know the number. And then I called the numbers for you on the Bead's contact list, conveniently left in my wallet, and found nothing close to a Karlyn. Or even a real person. But I guess we get an E for effort, and you were probably at school anyway.

my phone has a scary answering machine message--scary automated guy--that's probably whatcha got. You do get an E for effort though. Sometime we should play with synthesizers!
