I've played the flute, a little bit of violin, piano, alto sax, bass guitar, ocarina and cello. Out of all of those instruments, the cello is my favourite. The deep warm sound it generates when you play it properly really endeared it to me. I've wanted to try it for a long time, but Apocalyptica really cemented that desire into a goal. They demonstrated the range a cello was capable of and that's where I fell in love with the idea of playing a cello. At the time I didn't have a job so no money for the instrument and lessons. About a year or two ago, I finally got a job that paid well enough, so I rent-to-own a cello and started taking lessons. Moving to another city made time and energy scarce, so I had to stop :( I plan on taking it up again in the future though.
