cellofello

I’ve been paying a designer $150 for each concert set which includes 5 formats with similar designs. I’d like to keep the budget in the same ballpark.

This would be for ongoing work for the foreseeable future. Hoping to find somebody with some classical music knowledge, but that’s not 100% necessary. Thanks!

I’m flying on Zipair for the first time with my bow case and 2 bows. Even though the bow case can fit anywhere on a plane, in basically any overhead bin (even when it’s full of luggage), I was not allowed to bring the bow on the plane. I was forced to check it and pay an $80 baggage fee. Please avoid Zipair with any musical equipment!

Southwest does, in fact, accept cellos on flights. After talking to Southwest corporate customer service, they clarified their cello policy for me. The only cellos that are not allowed are ones that exceed size limits for seat baggage. Pretty much any normal cello case is fine. Unless you’re trying to buy a seat for a bam flight case or something, feel free to continue booking seats for cellos. I flew with my cello on Southwest yesterday and there was no problem at all.

Here’s the text from the Southwest musical instruments page:

“Please Note: Some musical instruments (e.g. double bass, cello, etc.) cannot be secured in a seat and must be transported as checked baggage. Oversize or overweight charges will apply if the instrument is between 62-150 inches in size (outside length plus width plus height including case or covering) or if the instrument weighs between 51-165 pounds (including case or covering).”

What's a good encore to play after Haydn D major Cello Concerto?
