These are difficult times and every part of your instrument must pay its way.

Thye Bach suites are supposed to be good for salmon.

    This is a Monty Python sketch, right?

  • CYM says:

    I am sure Yo Yo would also like to catch Mahi-Mahi …

  • Plush says:

    Bravo, Hans

  • nyc musician says:

    except if you watch til the end you see this was filmed in 2011

  • Karl L. Pearson says:

    The fish would have had to be swimming upside-down, or in other words, already dead, to hang on the end pin that direction.
    Fake video.

    . . . and what a way to treat a cello!

    • David K. Nelson says:

      And what a way to treat Casals’ recording! It is appropriate I suppose … fish and cellists value their scales. But from my perch, I think a certain Quintet by Schubert would have been a better choice of music, except you’d have to hire a piano tuna.

      Or perhaps Sibelius … Fin landia.

      But we mustn’t carp because that’s water under the bridge. As the saying goes, give a cellist a fish and eel eat for a day. Teach a cellist how to catch fish with his endpin and eel eat for a lifetime, cod willing.

        I would recommend that the video not be screened at a PETA meeting, as I imagine that would spawn quite the roe.

  • Frankie says:

    They look like very dead fish that they have caught!
