I strongly recommend following (as one does, of course = with pianos) proper professional advice. I use Yargar strings (made in = Denmark) The most interesting thing is... I bought a really cheapo cello (a = Stentor) to keep in my holiday cottage for practice when I'm there. I bought it new = in 1992 and it was heavy and awful. Now, in 2005, it has undergone a complete metamorphosis! Something to do with the drying out of the = moisture in the body of the cello I think. Rather like a piano? </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Michael = G.(UK)</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
