Hi Doro,
Welcome to the list.
Some of us play the trombone, the bagpipe, and I play the cello too!
I hope you won't mind if I introduce your site to the listees of the
Supercello Mailing list of Japan.
By the way, I know an OM with a 50/2 is a little heavy to carry with
a cello, but I LOOOOOOOVE my 50/2.
Regards,
kazuya matsumoto
(who also got the OM virus from dad with his OM-1)
(who lives in Funabashi, a sister city of Odense)
