Still researching the Gegner/Gegna family of musicians (originally #Ukrainian #klezmer family but became classical string players and emigrated to Germany/USA). Kinda cute photo of the cellist brother of the family, Mischa Gegna, during his 1926 PNW tour, with pianist Susie Michael.

#cello question for #cellists How high are your strings above the fingerboard? on our old cello I measured (to the nearest mm) A5 D11 G10 C7. On a new(ish) cello 7-11-11-10. I'm definitely taking down the A and C strings on this one, but am wondering if the middle strings need to be that much higher, seeing the fingerboard has its own curvature. Buchanan's book only gives measures A4.5 and C7, none for the middle strings.

I invite you to read my poem "Cellist"

I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading this.

#December 29, 1876
#OTD Pablo #Casals, #Spanish #PuertoRican #Cellist, #Composer, & #Conductor, is born.

One of the greatest #Cellists of all time, #Pablo is remembered for his #Bach #Cello #Suite recordings (1936 -1939).
In 1963, #JFK awarded him the #Presidential #MedalOfFreedom.

Pablo wrote,

In #Music,
In the #Sea,
In a #Flower,
In a #Leaf,
In an act of #Kindness...
I #See what #People call #God in all these #Things.

Happy "International #Cello Day"

My beau plays the cello. His bow
Makes the loveliest music I know.
I love him, I think,
But my mother, a shrink,
Says I won’t, once I’ve heard Lorne Munroe.
