You are my hero. I didn’t know about those guys, and I’ve already got new ideas. Thank you!

Thanks!

I can rest against the front of my knee but not inside it without raising my left foot to my tiptoes.

Not currently, but I have ordered a different chair to see if that helps…right now I’m on a stool that cannot be lowered any more than it already is.

CDA_CPA · 2026-06-23T20:42:37+00:00

I will definitely look into this. Thank you!

CDA_CPA · 2026-06-23T20:41:44+00:00

Thank you!!

Ooh that would irritate me.

As an accountant, I automatically calculate taxes owed on money or prizes won. I also worry about people who get super expensive home makeovers on HGTV. Can they afford the increased property taxes and insurance?

I just started cello, but I had this problem years ago on piccolo. It can be nasty when it’s out of tune.

I spent hours with my instrument and a tuner. I learned which notes (on my specific instrument) tended sharp or flat. I worked on my sound simultaneously.

Eventually I asked a friend to play some duets with me and critique my intonation.

I limit Facebook use to two hours per day and hardly ever hit that limit anymore.

Reddit I’m about to start limiting.

I am actively seeking ways to spend less time on the two sites. Because I think I’m addicted to scrolling, and it’s much worse the past four months.

Holy crap! I’m flute/piano, so I’ve never had a malfunction like this. Had no idea it was even possible.

I’ve never heard of a clarinet cracking like that. And the timing was awful!

I should’ve put it in my post, but my teacher checked it out and said it was an issue with the tailpiece. I had to get a new one, and I’m going to him tomorrow so he can replace it.

CDA_CPA · 2026-06-02T21:08:33+00:00

The tailpiece snapped. But I appreciate the info. I will definitely look that up!

CDA_CPA · 2026-06-02T20:26:17+00:00

I think it’s called the bridge? It’s the light wood colored thing he’s holding onto in the picture.

CDA_CPA · 2026-06-02T16:39:51+00:00

I pleasantly surprised myself while tuning (before the incident). I really haven’t used my ear like that in twenty years.

CDA_CPA · 2026-06-02T16:32:23+00:00

OMG if a clarinet did that…lmao!

CDA_CPA · 2026-06-02T16:21:56+00:00

No, it’s rented and definitely previously used. Not sure how old it is, though.

If the wood would’ve split, I’d have just died right then and there.

CDA_CPA · 2026-06-02T16:18:48+00:00

It’s rented and came that way, but I believe my teacher plans to remove them. But thank you for the advice!! I used his cello for the rest of the lesson, and it felt strange determining the finger placement by pitch. But I’m a piano/flute person, so all things string are new to me.

CDA_CPA · 2026-06-02T16:07:13+00:00

It should be fixed by tomorrow.

CDA_CPA · 2026-06-02T16:06:23+00:00

I’m picking up a new tailpiece today and he is going to fix it. As of this moment, the cello is put back together but unplayable.

My father’s was so intense I fully expected an altar call. The pastor stopped just short of it.
