Ha, I bet you thought this post was about not getting enough sleep due to practicing the cello. Nope, sorry to disappoint you.
Let's start from the beginning. A few months ago, my cello lost the rubber protector on the end pin. The plastic cap just disintegrated away one day.
I have a habit of lying the cello on the bed between practice sessions.
One night my husband was complaining about sharing the bed with the cello. So I picked it up and tossed it back on the bed just to spite (spike?) him.
Not smart. You see, we have an air mattress. Or rather, had an air mattress.
