I would like to buy an electric cello, starting at the cheaper end. Are the really cheap cellos like the ceclio range horrible, or just not great?

I live in Australia, currently travelling in US, keen to see some of the electric cellos in the flesh.

I’m looking for additional subjects for a “learning the cello guide”. These will be added to the Play cello web site.

What other subjects should I add to the below?

Buying a cello, Find the right cello teacher for you, Practice techniques

A gentleman named Barrett Sills e-mailed me about my carbon fiber cello. I have tried many times to respond to his e-mail, but it keeps getting bounced back. Please e-mail me your phone number.

Hi creative cellists
I'm a Brazilian cellist/singer, living in Louisiana(Jazz Grad student at LSU)
I just joined the NDCA website and would like to invite you to take a look at a very special work I`ve been developing in the last years, called Cello&Voice.
as the name says, I play and sing.
I have been experimenting and practicing a lot and would love to exchange some information on that.

I posted my first NDCF 2009 report:

1. Meet family members you didn't know you had.
2. Learn that three hours sleep a night is fine if you are really having fun. Under three hours is pushing it.
3. Learn things you never knew existed.
4. Inspiring performances by guest artists.
5. Inspiring teaching by guest artists.
6. Great jams!
7. Learn your musical limitations and what to do about them.
8. Christine singing Motown.
9. Dinner for 8+ at the Moosewood.
10. Tom Culver playing funk tunes.

Chris and Sera - Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm Bruno, from São Paulo, Brazil. I'm going to the Festival this year and I'll be in New York City in June 2, 3 and 4. I'm looking for someone that can give me a ride to get there and/or to come back to NY in June, 7, so that I don't miss my flight back to Brazil in June, 8.

Otherwise I'm going by bus, that's probably a nice trip also! Greyhound is the bus company, right?

Thanks!!

Hi all, long time no chat...

I notice it would be about $200 cheaper to fly into Syracuse or Rochester, as opposed to Ithaca's airport. Any recommendations?

I'll be flying from Washington DC.
