Since we finished #MythicQuest we're more watching the #SideQuest anthology. The episode about the cellist. Oof.

I play (or rather I used to play and now I keep meaning to get back to playing) the #cello myself and I've seen exactly what the woman in that episode went through. So many excellent musicians that I once knew had nervous breakdowns and lost the music.

It was only ever something fun I did, and that got me into my mom's world (she plays the oboe, English horn, and several... 1/n

Woo! All my custom string sets from #DRstrings finally came in. Along with the tapewounds from #LaBella. Maybe tonight I'll throw them on.

Also, bought a Greco GS940 #semihollow #shortscale #bass that I'm going to convert into a #fretless #cello. That'll arrive in a few weeks.

Another #electricBass will be on it's way soon. Details to follow. 😜

Oh. I decided on a whim to buy a new used #Behringer graphicEQ and #DBX compressor+limiter+noise gate. I feel like I stole them they were so cheap but, I know they were sitting around for a long time.

Traded in a hard case that came w/ my #Ibanez bass.

It's certainly been a #NGD #newGearDay !

Mein Lieblingslied auf meinem #Cello 🎻 ich übe hier nur, will es später nochmal ordentlich aufnehmen. 🎵 Das #Jugendamt will mich einsperren wo ich dann kein Cello spielen kann, weil der Schulleiter behauptet meine Eltern seien verrückt.

My favorite song on my violoncello 🎻 . I am only practicing here, I want to record it once again when I play properly. 🎵 The #CPS wants to put me in a children home where I cannot play cello, because the school principal is lying that my parents are crazy.

The Cello Suites are probably my favorite pieces by Bach. In general, I prefer his music for solo instruments, and these are the ones I feel I know by heart.

I've seen them performed live only once, by Mime Yamahiro Brinkmann, so besides thinking that it is a great recording, it feels rather special.
