Yes fountain pens!!!!!!!!! They work so much better than their cheap modern ballpoint and rollerball counterparts!!

Stealing a cello has got to be an undertaking.

But a cello? One can not easily walk away with a cello under your arm. Unless you're Fezzik, the biggest and the strongest.

And fountain pens! And history! Oh what fun (I do like your name as well :))

Thanks for the welcome everyone!!! I would say classical music is my first love.I play piano,a little violin and guitar.But 19th century music history was my major in school.I have over 3000 cd's and it keeps growing!!!Yikes!!
Would still love to learn the cello.Maybe someday soon.

Stealing a cello...that would take some work.

How desparate would you have to be to steal a cello?

they didnt steal it like that. Its a long story....a very sad story......to make aLONG story short it was family, and they pawmed it, and I could never get it back. Whats so sad is that theyonly got 500$ for it!! I worked ALL Through hisgh school to buy that thing.........I hate my family. Ignorant poeple will never know that value of an instrument............500$ is NOTHINg close to what I payed, plus the emotional value...........sheesh.

Obviously yuou cant just walk by with a cello. My mistake for trusting my family.......I mean come on, who would ever in their right mind trust family right?? :shock:

my family would never sell one of my instruments because they know I would bite off the head of whoever sold it, and anyone who hadn't stopped them for that matter! :x :lol:
