I play piano, and I envy other string instruments. I mean, you can't really vibrato on a piano, and you can't slide between notes, and you can't play tremolo. It just seems so limited.

The cello has a lovely, rich sound, so I'd love to give it a go!

I think about this all the time. I would love to be able to pitch bend and make crazy sounds on a real piano. Guess the only options would be to get an electric piano or invest in crazy custom pedal modifications.

But on the other hand, the piano has so much more range and allows for playing of both rhythm and melody simultaneously.

Also, good pick on the cello. I also enjoy how it sounds.
