My Dungey Cello's Most Excellent Adventure

Christopher delivered my cello last night! It has a new color and is all tuned up.



It looks beautiful! It sounds better than ever

My cello had the most excellent adventure on its way home. Chris stopped in Boise and gave a talk at a cello workshop on his way. He also lent my cello to Zuill Bailey, who played my cello (!), another one of Chris's cellos, and his Gofriller cello during the master class he led there. Chris shot video clips of Zuill Bailey playing all of the cellos and it was so exciting to watch him play my cello! I wish I could have seen the entire class plus listened to him perform the Elgar.

It was cool to hear the different cellos - the other Dungey cello was built in 2005 and it has a much more developed sound. Mine is still so new that while it sounds wonderful, it still sounds like a new cello. And wouldn't it be nice if I could play better...

Congrats on the cello. As an old friend of mine once said.. "orange cellos sound better"
