I am a violinist. I can also play the viola (although 'real' violists get a bit antsy when I tell them this as I've never had an actual viola lesson...). My brother suggested I learn the cello from him. I thought this would be easy.
It wasn't.
I'd already played Hot Cross Buns and Mary Had a Little Lamb on student instruments at school. All the kids thought that was the coolest thing ever. On a full-size cello though, it's so much harder. The sound, the hand position - agh! Now I know what total beginners go through.
But, I took home this cello and it sounds marginally less horrible now. I'm considering baking a batch of Apology Biscuits for my poor neighbours though.
