My poor cellito...


Last night I went to pull my cello out of the case, and sensed that something was very wrong. Yikes. The fingerboard had completely separated from the neck! I took it to Michael Weller this morning, a wonderful luthier in Alexandria. He assured me that it was no big deal, and that it could be fixed with a bit of crazy glue. (He was kidding) and I can pick it up tomorrow. He said that, because the fingerboard is made of ebony, and the neck is maple, they sometimes come unglued with weather changes. I have played a couple of outdoor gigs in the past month, so maybe that had something to do with it.
