So, what did I get Mrs Piper for Christmas?

@Chefguy

The neck is all loose and there are paint spatters all over the front, along with a few holes.

For a minute there I thought you were describing the used cello.

@StGermain

…your bagpipe caterwauling.

St Germain! I thought we were friends! {{Sniff!}}

I like the sound of bagpipes. Outdoors. From a distance.

The Piper Cub talks about wanting to learn the drums. :eek:

You’ll be glad to know that they make electronic sets now, with headphones.
I’m glad she liked her present.

I had no idea that Mrs. P played cello.

Well done, Northern Piper!

My Ms. P is a classically trained cellist, but doesn’t play much anymore.

@Tatterdemalion

Has there been any music written for cello and bagpipes?

Doubtful. For technical reasons, the Great Highland Bagpipes don’t play well with others.

Except drums.

Maybe the Cub is on to something. :smack:

I ain’t afraid to admit that I never would have guessed it was a cello.
But folks, now I have an extremely important question for all the rest of you:
If you bought a cello for your spouse, would you be able to hide it in your house or apartment?

'Cause, me, I live in a small place with a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a carport outside.
My wife would notice unusual occupants in our abode. And so would the cat…

I ain’t no classical musician, but I know that a cello is smaller than a bass, and bigger than a breadbox. Now, a breadbox is something I could hide… in a closet on a high shelf–maybe.
But a cello? No way.

Oh, and I suppose that it’s a good thing Ms. Piper doesn’t play the kettle drums.

There’s always room for cello.

Gotta admit Cello was not what I was thinking , until the second post. First thing as I was reading was a dirigible for some reason

@VOW

I can play the cat! He’s not too crazy about that, though.

Catgut strings?

I just had to do a google search on cello and bagpipes, this turned up.
