I took cello lessons when I was 14. I stopped going into high school. I had my grandmother’s cello. She took it back after I stopped playing. I was going to take lessons in college, since the University I attended had a wonderful music school and one could take instrument lessons, but I never brought the cello with me.
Just before Thanksgiving, she gave it back to me. I got it out and played the first lesson. It is out of tune and I am terrible at tuning. I used to tune it to our piano, but my husband and I don’t have a piano and it does not tune well to guitar :)
The plan for now: take it to someone to have a look over it, get it in tune, and take care of the neck where hand movement has removed all the varnish.
