Oh dear.
Disaster struck today! I broke 2 strings (A and D). I don't even know how I did it! It was out of tune when I got up this morning (as usual), so started to tune it. The D string broke as I was tightening it. I figured that these things happen, so went and bought another string (£7.50 - pricey!), and replaced it. Just started tuning it again and the A string broke!
I am so worried that I am going to destroy it, that I just don't want to go anywhere near it again. I don't think I am over tightening it, but maybe I am. I just don't know.
So I haven't played today, and I am just going to leave it until I can call my teacher on Monday and find out what has happened.
This is so disheartening. Poor cello.

Carrie)!! Gotta keep these pregnant ladies happy, y'all. It's the least we
can do.

One tip I learned from my shop - always loosen the string a bit first before tightening it. They will be less likely to break.
