Amen Alan. My wife, back when she was teaching, bought a cello, a sweet
sounding one I fell in love with, then started taking lessons, but it was
only played for maybe an hour a week & she did not arrive at a level of
expertise that made it a natural for her. Now its standing in its case next
to the piano, and hasn't had its bow rosined in at least 5 years, and the
last time I heard it, sounded like hell. Such instruments need to be
exercised regularly to maintain their sonic quality.
