But it's possible that because of how good your cello playing is, that what's horrible to you, would actually be amazing to me.
But it's also very possible that you're right, and my piano is better then yours...

At 9:38pm on April 18, 2009, Zagorath said…: Oh well, I'm sure that you're still better then I could ever be :D
Maybe because rather then putting emphasis on one of my instruments, I practice both equally, so they're both equally bad :D

You say you wouldn't call yourself a professional, where you talking about on the Cello or the Piano?

At 9:27pm on April 18, 2009, Zagorath said…: A concert cellist. Wow! It's always amazing to see the wide variety of people we get here at Geeks!
My personal favourite would be Beethoven, and I prefer the romantic period over classical or baroque. I'm assuming that you prefer the baroque period, because you said Bach was your favourite.
May I ask if you play any other instruments at any level? I play the piano and clarinet in B flat. But I certainly could never hope to be a concert performer for either of them. Except school concerts :D

May I ask why you chose that interesting picture of the bass clef for your profile picture? Especially as you made no mention of music in your profile information.
