Cellist

[PeterJB]

Just curious to see if their are other Cellists on GTP, or if i'm the only one. Are there any other Cellists out there?

 

[Omnis]

I'm friends with a pro Cellist, if that counts.

 

[PeterJB]

Yes, i'd say that counts.

 

[F1GTR]

I used to play cello.

He's a fantastic Cellist! I'm Grade 1, but i'm at Grade 3 standard, I've been trying that piece, but I can't say I do it as well as he does!

I used to play cello.

How far did you get with it?

 

[Stevisiov]

Only pizzicato on my freinds cello.

Were you any good?

 

[superberkut]

My teammate on my hockey team played the cello. He's gone now, of course...

 

[Stevisiov]

Were you any good?

Err... thats debatable, I am tempted to say I was rubbish, but I did manage to string a few songs together. I really want to get my hands on a double bass.

What? Did he die?

 

[Keichi Tsuchiya]

I play Double Bass... That count?

 

[superberkut]

What? Did he die?

Er-

"He's dead inside!" But, he's alive and well, except he got cut from another far inferior team.

 

[AOS-]

What? Did he die?

a bit impolite, try not to make it seem like that.

 

[PeterJB]

I play Double Bass... That count?

I guess so, but only just.

 

[PeterJB]

Sorry, I was just a little confused by what he said.

 

[F1GTR]

How far did you get with it?

Not very far.

I used to play cello, when I was a primary school lad... didn't get too far with it either, but did play in a couple of school concerts, which were scary! I remember that T you needed to put behind the front legs of your chair to hold the spike of the cello in place... I lost mine during a rehearsal once and attempted to use a Polo mint instead - it didn't work...

Put what? Lost what?

We used to have shiny wooden floors in our hall, so we had to use a large wooden T-shaped thing with holes in it to hold the cello in place. You'd place the T-shaped thing (don't know what it's called - we called it 'the T') behind the front legs of your chair, with the long arm of the T pointing out away from you. You could then place the spike of the cello into any one of the drilled holes that gave you a comfortable playing position... I guess they are for beginners only...

I get it now! It didn't know it existed!

 

[Jondot]

Haha, my friend has an extendable metal one of those. Bit like this, only the wooden bit is adjustable and only has one hole.

Yeah, I don't stick it down my back and pretend I'm an alien... Anyway... She's grade... 4, I think, seeing that I think she said she's doing grade 5 theory soon.

LMFAO!
