My wife, back when she was teaching, bought a cello, a sweet sounding one I fell in love with, then started taking lessons, but it was only played for maybe an hour a week & she did not arrive at a level of expertise that made it a natural for her. Now its standing in its case next to the piano, and hasn't had its bow rosined in at least 5 years, and the last time I heard it, sounded like hell. Such instruments need to be exercised regularly to maintain their sonic quality. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
