Great post, Terry.  
Judge not, lest ye be judged.
Everybody has a radically different perspective.
That said, do either of you play the cello?  At all?
If not, then it's literally just window dressing...
unless you're expecting visits from itinerant string players who show up 
without their instruments....
Best, David A.
