Luis & Clark?
The search for the perfect cello goes on. Wood or carbon fiber? Have tickets to the Apocalyptica concert in Vienna this coming Monday, so I'll finally hear the Luis & Clarke played by Perttu Kivilaakso, but only (greatly) amplified, and not solo, which makes it nearly impossible to judge its tonal qualities. The search goes on.
Dammit. Apocalyptica are in Vienna again? And I didn't notice.
Well, at least I got to see the Einstürzende Neubauten.

But keep in mind that she thinks a pen is better than a typewriter and a postage stamped letter is better than email and she's 71 years old. :)

Posted by: Karan at April 8, 2005 02:33 AMi'm totally with your mom on leters and on pen vs typewriter; typewriter is also superior to computer, except for the noise thing and the no email thing. i like wood. a lot. but the question, you know: just what does the carbon fiber sound like? feel like?
taste like?
Posted by: mig at April 8, 2005 05:18 AMi don't think perttu kivilaakso is going to take kindly to the licking of the cello. just a thought.
Posted by: anne at April 8, 2005 11:49 AMi promise not to lick perttu kivilaakso's carbon fiber cello.
