it's not unique, it's a viola.

it's super expensive though .

poor guy. I don't trust ppl with my stuff

[Séguin]

It's unique in that it was hand made by 1 specialist. Not made through a company. That's what seperated it, and made it worth $14,000.

[Carrie]

it's unique of it's kind. yes.

this is where we lynch mapleleaf4ever.

But the Air Transport Association of Canada warns musicians they shouldn't expect any special treatment and says the new rules about cabin baggage will be more consistently enforced.

Although I don't do the Ramp for Air Canada, I have handled Musical Instruments before. In fact I loaded a Guitar or Ukelele or whatever... something stringed tonight. We try, but shit shifts in Flight. I'd be curious to see what kind of Case it was packed in. Not excusing this from happening but really People... honestly, if you have something fragile that you have to check in. Pack it as if it was your Child. Shit happens.

edit: Nice timing Jim. :p Once again I do not work for Air Canada.

Guitar OR Uke? Their pretty different size wise :p

[cubed]

I wonder if a uke would look like a guitar if ricey was holding it.

Nope! Its only for 4 strings. If anything, it'd look like a tiny accoustic bass.

Um, it's a custom-made viola. Hence "unique"

[Carrie]

omg. *shakes head*

[Carrie]

omg. prozac's got a problem with my posts again.

get over yourself already

[Séguin]

Not as many people play viola, not as many as violin, yes. Probably cause you have to reas it in Tenor or Alto Clef... I donno, one of the C Clefs. But I did mean that it was because it was hand made. I believe Carrie already aknowledged this.

Wicked!

I owe you a beer when you come down!

[Wood]

serves that pencil-neck right for playing the viola in the first place... fag

[Carrie]

I respect anyone that can play a musical instrument, because I can only play hot cross buns on the recorder.
