We picked up K's cello that we purchased with a lot of good advice from Betsy Tinney from the store where we took it for cleanup and maintenance. It's sounding good and K had fun playing it today.

Now, we just need to find a place to store it in her room. In the meantime, it is in the library.

Because *everything* is in the library. (At least, that isn't in the garage or basement...)

I had to get up early to get K to school this morning, the car pool having to get too many students to school at too many different times. This evening, I hit the wall.

But I have taken the new/old cello to the nearby shop to get a quote on getting it set up. If I don't like the number I hear there, I can get it back and take it to the shop it was originally bought from some 45 minutes away.

And K went to auditions for the spring play tonight, so we'll see how that goes.

With a lot of help from Betsy, we have acquired a cello for K. It now needs to go to a competent luthier for a setup, because the bridge is in the wrong place and the sound post has fallen, but everything appears to be structurally sound and the tone is good.

Many thanks to Betsy for helping us through this process via remote consultation!
