@@georginawatson9057 They have a few songs that he plays in - radioactive, dancing on my own - different as there is only four of them, shallow, papaoutai and Thank you an original from there latest Christmas album. When they are in tour he always a moment on his own playing different arraignments before the rest of the group joins him again
Great reaction, except that you cut it right in the middle of a few really epic parts, like Avi's bass drop and Kirstie belting. Suggestion - if you cut it, it helps if you go back just a couple of seconds, so you keep the flow. Otherwise, I really like all your reactions. Looking forward to more!
It's amazing that Avi's voice sounds like cello especially when he's humming! And it harmonizes with Kevin's cello so well. When I first heard this one, what I thought was cello was actually Avi and Kevin was doing pizzicato!
It's a cello. Kevin was already a world-class cellist before he joined PTX, and he brings out the cello on a few of their songs. And it's still Kevin beatboxing. He invented what he calls "cello-boxing", beatboxing and playing cello at the same time (that's actually what drew the group's attention to him when they were searching for a beatboxer). Kirstie absolutely slays the lead on this song...that angelic voice singing these solemn lyrics is a perfect combination. Avi has actually released three solo albums now (two since he left the group) and they're all fantastic. Very deep and personal songs. Kirstie has also released an enjoyable pop solo album, and Mitch & Scott released an album under their alter-egos Superfruit.
I love your reactions!!! One note would be to rewind a little back after you stop to comment. It will add a little continuity what is going on in the song. Just a suggestion!! :-)
When they were preparing for the Sing Off, they discovered Kevin on youtube, playing cello and beatboxing. They, like all of us since, were amazed, and invited him to join them for the competition.
If you want more of the solo work, Mitch and Scott work together under the name Superfruit and they've got some really fun stuff in there. Kevin is always beatboxing, but also plays cello, oftentimes at the same time.
This is one of my favorite Pentatonix renditions. It’s so clean, spare and indelibly sad and powerful. The cello adds so much and Kirstie’s beautiful and passionate vocals are heart-breaking. This presentation clearly shows their virtuosity in what they do. I love them SO MUCH!
Bayo- "i think its a violin??" Me- **offended ex-cellist noises** 😂 in order from smallest they're, violin then viola, cello (what Kevin plays) and double bass ☺️ love the reactions mate
Thanks for that lesson, Ally! I know Kevin's is a cello but didn't know that about the other instruments. Do they make electric versions of all of them like KO plays in his "Down" cover?
@@melp.1942 They do indeedy, and each is just as unique sounding as their wood and glue counterparts, had to go watch that cover again cuz daym, it really is a great example of exactly that point 🤩
Thanks again Ally! I love all of PTX. They are so insanely talented in their own ways. KOs talent on the cello is just stellar and I enjoy it each time like this video and Radioactive, etc. Take care!
I love this song! Kirstie just kills it, drawing you in and then dropping your emotions down the basement stairs! I'm so happy you are feeling better! This reaction was great!
Loved your reaction. Tears just mean the music moved your soul. It is a good thing. Glad you are feeling better. Don’t push too much make sure you continue to rest.
Bayo! I’m an old white American guy and you have contributed to my eyes being widened! Keep doing what you are doing! The world needs more people like you!!
I do love this version of Say Something. And the Avi-Scott duets are always so beautiful. They appear in a few songs like Mary Did You Know and I think in Little Drummer Boy, probably others that don’t come to mind right now.
This is one of my top favorites too. They blow it out of the water. And tears can be good! Cathartic or healing or just a vent we all need during these times.
The setting, muted colors, passionate voices, and deep message, very stunning. PTX knocks it out of the park here. We FEEL every word. Thanks you for your beautiful reaction. I cried when I first heard it, and now it still makes my emotions come out. Simple and powerful.
Being a highly sensitive person, my empathetic nature can overwhelm me and leave me choked up and weepy. I do love this song, but I wish there was more hope out there, not for myself but for those who are truly struggling with life. I’m lifting your situation up to the Father of Lights. Stay active but peaceful, no matter what happens. Your mental health will thank you for it.
The members of Home Free: Austin Brown, tenor, Rob lindquist, lower tenor, Adam Chance, baritone, Tim Foust, bass, and Adam Rupp, beat boxer. Voiceplay members: Earl high tenor (has recently left group, but he was in vids until 2020), Eli Jacobson, tenor, J.None, baritone (master of runs), Geoff Castellucci, bass, Layne Stein, beatboxer
Yes, it's a cello, the best stringed instrument. I have a son and 2 grandkids play the cello and one granddaughter who plays the double bass. She can handle it - she's 5'10" and still growing.
I'm so happy to see new content so much often from you Bayo. Don't know how you keep that up, but thanks a lot! Your reactions are very enjoyable and honest! I love them!
We call it cello boxing. The cello is a great talent and then his beat boxing is insanely good. Both are impressive but joining the,m together is very difficult. I’m with you. They are amazing. After this emotional song you could rebound with two happy songs - Sing (an original) and Come Along. So happy you’re feeling better. Take care ☮️💟😷
Kevin beatboxes while he plays his cello. That is how they found him originally. Kevin was doing a TH-cam video beatboxing and playing his cello at the same time, and they knew he would be a wonderful and talented addition to their group.
It is definitely music you can "feel". That is what I love. I walk around singing (badly) this song all day. I also love music that just makes you move/dance. That is why music is so universal because it just can affect you in so many different ways, no matter the genre, language, etc. Great reaction. Just face it, all their songs are favorites all for their own merits! LOL
That's got to be the BEST out there, I don't think anyone is ever ready for it TBH 😆😆 maybe start with the official video just as a warm up? Would be great as a back to back in the same upload.
Mitch and Scott as Superfruit did a 14 song album with a video for each song. They are amazing Kristie has a solo EP, with videos for several songs. She blew me away!!! Kevin with his TH-cam videos They are stellar individually.....which we all knew since they are the BEST together
Hi Bayo! This is such a beautiful and emotional rendition of an absolutely beautiful and emotional song, it’s pretty much impossible not to get emotional. There! I said it 3 times. “No it’s not Avi doing the beatbox, it’s Kevin!” Yeah... He was not doing enough so “Hey guys, lets make Kevin sing as well”. Sure! Why not! Lol. OMG! **sigh**.
The blank stares, the look of the video, how still they are, the RAW emotion in their voices. Honest to me, this come across at the devastating feeling you get when you first break up with somone and you are still not sure why they left. They portrayed the song expertly, and I loved watching your reaction.
Kevin is playing the cello. He is a seriously talented man, plays the piano, cello and trumpet like a total boss and other instruments as well, like the sax
I remember when this cover came out, it was the first time I heard Kevin's singing voice. Had managed to hold the tears till the very end. When Kevin came in for the last notes I just bawled
I love this version!! Ok. You’ve proven yourself as a Pentaholic. It’s time, Bayo. It’s time for you to watch and react to their video for “Aha”. And then for you to watch & react to “Aha - Live Singapore The Star Vista”. You’ve earned it! Also, check out Superfruit and their cover of “Feeling Myself”. You’ll love it.
I absolutely LOVE Avi's solo work, he is so amazing and versatile! I wish you had done reactions to what you watched/heard of his!!! But hopefully there are some that you could still do reactions to. Here's a list to consider..... Change on the Rise Otherside Aberdeen I'll Get By Get Down (audio only) The Summit (audio only) It Knows Me Lean on Me (cover ❤️❤️❤️) He also released a few tracks under Avriel and the Sequoias that are well worth listening to.... Sweet Adeline Quarter Past Four Fields and Pier Hey Ya (cover ❤️) I hope you react to some of these!!!!!
We are all right there with you and ‘the feels’ on this one! Glad you are feeling better! And yes it is cathartic to cry! Avi is the bass - he destroys me every time, I adore him! Kevin is ‘cello boxing’! They all have solo material and Scott and Mitch have ‘Superfruit’ their joint project which is just awesome!
This is a gorgeous arrangement!! And as someone who plays Violin (Btw Kevin is playing on a Cello) I can play this song and it is so emotional to play as well as hear.
Yes! Great reaction! I hope your feeling better and making it through the Covid. My opinion about this version here is that Pentatonix has created a musical masterpiece which gives me goosebumps every time i listen to it. Kirstie's vocal is so moving and haunting at the same time...ugh so good!! Same for your channel as well; You are a kind soul.
Kevin plays cello AND beatboxes drums. Avi wanders around in the basement sometimes sounding just like the cello sometimes sounding like Scott, now and then sounding like a base guitar.
They all have solo or colabs out there too. Scott and Mich have superfruit too, more relaxed and some stuff that is more for fun, highly recommend their hip-hop goes Broadway (both 1 and 2)
It’s not a day until I watch one of your reactions!!! Really hoping you’re feeling better. If you ever feel comfortable, I’m sure we’d all love to see your beautiful girl. This is one of those songs that the originals that I NEVER get sick of of...always blast it and sing along (I was a choir nerd). I think PTX did an amazing cover. Kirstie poured so much emotion into her part. Thanks again for your reaction; we appreciate it!! ❤️ from Texas
The premise for this video is they are a picture. That’s why they’re all trying really hard not to move. (Scott is gripping the back of the chairs for dear life trying not to “hand sing”.) The concepts for their videos are always stunning and well thought out. All the little details. :)
Fun fact: When Pentatonix came together as a group it was originally Scott, Mitch, Kirstie. They found Avi through a friend and Kevin through his YT videos of him playing cello and beatboxing. :)
Nice reaction. Thanks. Glad that you are feeling better. I love their cover of this song. They did an excellent job of getting the listeners to feel the pain being expressed. They all have solo projects. You already know about Superfruit which is Scott's and Mitch's project. Please check out Kevin Olusola's awesome KO TH-cam channel. Start with "Down". Scott Hoying's channel is pretty awesome too. He started it before Pentatonix and continued to post on it until two years ago. Heck, check all of their TH-cam channels even if you don't react.
Kevin is amazing with the celloboxing, that’s what Kevin has called it, he is the first person to combine cello playing and beatboxing at the same time, it’s how Scott and Ben Bram the arranger that helps them behind the scenes found Kevin, they found him here on TH-cam and asked him if he would be the beatboxer in the group Pentatonix, and they sometimes let him do the celloboxin, Scott has now adding the piano in the song Thank You. That was the first time they has a piano in a song. Kevin has played the cello a few times on a few songs
It’s so sweet that you want to cry! I’ve never listened to this tune by anyone and haven’t bawled. And yes, it’s a cello…. My recently deceased mother was wonderful on the cello
Great reaction! I knew you'd love this one. Someone probably already posted this, but Kevin had put up videos of him "celloboxing", and that's how Mitch, Kirstin & Scott found him before they went on The Sing Off. Also, just a technical note: when you're pausing in the middle of a note or musical phrase it would be helpful to rewind back five or ten seconds when you're ready to listen again, otherwise you lose the impact of some of the more powerful moments (the end of this piece where Kirstin's in the middle of a note during the crescendo/build to the end of the song). :) Keep posting & we'll keep watching (happily!). Glad you seem to be feeling a bit better.
For solo stuff you have: Scott and Mitch brought out music under the name superfruit. Kirstin brought out an Ep which is really good and Kevin has done some good solo stuff aswell
There are 2 other big acapella groups on YT that are phenomenal, and you neeed to watch them to get a better understanding of the genre. Those groups are Home Free and Voiceplay, and trust me, they’ve done some songs that you just cannot miss. If you start reacting to Home FRee, you will definitely draw in The Home Fries (Home Free fans). Home Free can sing anything, but they are all southern and do do a lot of classic country, but even reactors who arent huge fans of country music absolutely adore them. Voiceplay is more similar to Pentatonix, but they are also completely different. For Home Free, you must start with “Ring Of Fire- Featuring Avi Kaplan.” Yes you read that right, AVI sings in hat, and it is astonishing. Both of those groups have bass singers who can go toe to toe with AVi, any day. For Voiceplay, please start with “Oogie Boogie song” and you will be absolutely blown away. After that, those fans will come over and recommend tons of songs for you.
Kevin blows my mind every time I see him beat box while playing the cello. He was playing one beat and making another!!! 😳 Also, passing this along in case it helps you get your videos past the copyright issue. I was watching some other PTX reactions, including some guy who has been doing them for since the sing-off. He said he does NOT wear headphones in the video bc it’s easier to get through copyright if the video has the sound from his speakers rather than an uploaded audio file. Apparently it also uploaded faster. Thought it was a good tip. And your reactions are better. 😁

This song hits me in the feels. Listen to Avi's solo lyrics knowing he left.
hi might as well check out KZ tandingan’s Say Something. its one of the best cover.
@@chriss_thefloorstuffie78 it makes me cry when i hear Avi sing this. He sings from the heart. I get shivers when he starts singing
@Bayo, PLEASE do Aha! Singapore Star Vista by PTX. I guarantee you will be blown away!
Amazing🥰🥰🥰😍😍 reacts also to Kz Tandingan version 🙏🙏🙏
Kevin is indeed playing the cello. He named his cello Beyonce!
That's amazing how did you find that out if you don't mind me asking
In one of the behind the scenes videos from them on tour it comes up.
@@georginawatson9057 They have a few songs that he plays in - radioactive, dancing on my own - different as there is only four of them, shallow, papaoutai and Thank you an original from there latest Christmas album. When they are in tour he always a moment on his own playing different arraignments before the rest of the group joins him again
It is was my understanding that he named his cello Delilah.
@@ruthburr1951 Nope this cello is Beyoncé and his electronic cello is called Mr Carter
Great reaction, except that you cut it right in the middle of a few really epic parts, like Avi's bass drop and Kirstie belting. Suggestion - if you cut it, it helps if you go back just a couple of seconds, so you keep the flow. Otherwise, I really like all your reactions. Looking forward to more!
Agreed! Jayveetv cuts out the high note on Bohemian Rhapsody and it is terribly done - even though I love most of his reaction videos.
Multiple times he cut good bits..
Bayo...Mate....You need to rewind a few seconds when you pause, or you lose the full effect....
Yes! I never mind a reactor stopping the song (I mean the point is to share and talk) but it would be much better if you rewind three seconds. ✌️❤️
It's amazing that Avi's voice sounds like cello especially when he's humming! And it harmonizes with Kevin's cello so well.

When you stop in the middle of a big note or phrase like you did, can you rewind a wee bit before you restart? Thanks.
Avi's bass voice reaches down into my soul and your sound system always makes him stand out..great reactions..carry on!! LOL
The cello gives this song life.
I love your reactions!!! One note would be to rewind a little back after you stop to comment. It will add a little continuity what is going on in the song. Just a suggestion!! :-)
Kevin and his cello! When he beatboxes and plays the cello at the same time it's just incredible!
I love it when Kevin plays the cello.
came to watch pentatonix, but stayed bc of your reactions, you have a nice voice. Im glad you are doing better.

@@matthewaaronallen1598 outwardly pretty similar tbf, but the average viola is defo longer and wider and makes a lower sound

Also when Avi sings his part...instant tears

Voiceplay members: Earl high tenor (has recently left group, but he was in vids until 2020), Eli Jacobson, tenor, J.None, baritone (master of runs), Geoff Castellucci, bass, Layne Stein, beatboxer

@@ambeauty2001 YES!!!!!
Aha was so incredible. You will love it.
One of My Favorite songs!!!! But Yes so Sad!!!! Great Reaction!!!!
Kirstie just killed it. She let you feel this song with her beautiful voice.
Goosebumps and I always cry...no shame....just raw deep feeling, and human.
Mitch and Scott as Superfruit did a 14 song album with a video for each song. They are amazing
Kristie has a solo EP, with videos for several songs. She blew me away!!!
Kevin with his TH-cam videos
They are stellar individually.....which we all knew since they are the BEST together
La La Latch next! Afterwards, you again will say it's one of your favorites. I promise! 🤯
Hi Bayo! This is such a beautiful and emotional rendition of an absolutely beautiful and emotional song, it’s pretty much impossible not to get emotional. There! I said it 3 times. “No it’s not Avi doing the beatbox, it’s Kevin!” Yeah... He was not doing enough so “Hey guys, lets make Kevin sing as well”. Sure! Why not! Lol. OMG! **sigh**.
You just can't miss with Pentatonix. I thank my 29-year-old song for introducing them to me many years ago! A true treasure and a gift!
Happy to hear you are getting better. You are very human in your response and we all love you! Thx!
Lovely song and they did such a great job of it with their beautiful voices. Thank you for another great reaction
You are right, it is ok to cry. Glad you're feeling better. Oh and yes it is a cello, I used to play oboe in orchestra in Middle and High School.
Pentatonix are so talented ❤️❤️
The blank stares, the look of the video, how still they are, the RAW emotion in their voices.

This is one of my favorites. I love how the background vocals mimic strings too. So much thought goes into all their arrangements.
Your "crush" on Mitch always makes me chuckle. I know how you feel!
I think you will love the Scott and Mitch channel, Superfruit. They do a couple of fun singing videos. I like their Frozen one.
Check out Scott doing “I should tell your momma on ya!”
Second!!!
Third! Scott kills it!
YESSSSSSSSS!!
I remember when this cover came out, it was the first time I heard Kevin's singing voice. Had managed to hold the tears till the very end. When Kevin came in for the last notes I just bawled
The original made me misty eyed but this version had me sobbing. PTX always the best!!!!
I love this version!! Ok. You’ve proven yourself as a Pentaholic. It’s time, Bayo. It’s time for you to watch and react to their video for “Aha”. And then for you to watch & react to “Aha - Live Singapore The Star Vista”.
You’ve earned it!
Also, check out Superfruit and their cover of “Feeling Myself”. You’ll love it.
I absolutely LOVE Avi's solo work, he is so amazing and versatile! I wish you had done reactions to what you watched/heard of his!!! But hopefully there are some that you could still do reactions to. Here's a list to consider.....
Change on the Rise
Otherside
Aberdeen
I'll Get By
Get Down (audio only)
The Summit (audio only)
It Knows Me
Lean on Me (cover ❤️❤️❤️)
He also released a few tracks under Avriel and the Sequoias that are well worth listening to....
Sweet Adeline
Quarter Past Four
Fields and Pier
Hey Ya (cover ❤️)
I hope you react to some of these!!!!!
I love everything from Avi.
@@rachellephipps1361 Me too, HI IS amazing
Great reaction. I love Avi, too. I would love to see you react to his original It Knows Me. I think its his best so far
By far my favorite PTX song!! Kirstie's voice just gives me chills!
Absolutely nothing wrong with crying.
Kevin's celloboxing is what got him discovered by Scott and invited to PTX
We are all right there with you and ‘the feels’ on this one! Glad you are feeling better! And yes it is cathartic to cry! Avi is the bass - he destroys me every time, I adore him! Kevin is ‘cello boxing’! They all have solo material and Scott and Mitch have ‘Superfruit’ their joint project which is just awesome!
This is a gorgeous arrangement!! And as someone who plays Violin (Btw Kevin is playing on a Cello) I can play this song and it is so emotional to play as well as hear.
Another more recent sad one is mad world not sure if you haven't done that one yet its kinda relatable to today's world
Definitely
Yes! Great reaction! I hope your feeling better and making it through the Covid. My opinion about this version here is that Pentatonix has created a musical masterpiece which gives me goosebumps every time i listen to it.

I love his solo work
I just watched his new single video, out of this world! I am a huge fan of Pentatonix!
Love love love your reactions. They did an amazing cover of this song, right up there with my top 10 favorites. Glad you are feeling better😷
So Kevin coined the term cello-boxing. Basically beat boxing while playing the cello. He is super freaking talented.
This is probably my favorite cover they've done. I listened to it on repeat for days on end when they first released it. It's perfect
WARNING: Tim Foust and Geoff Castellucci sing lower than what youve heard from Avi, they break subwoofers!!!
It’s not a day until I watch one of your reactions!!! Really hoping you’re feeling better. If you ever feel comfortable, I’m sure we’d all love to see your beautiful girl.
This is one of those songs that the originals that I NEVER get sick of of...always blast it and sing along (I was a choir nerd). I think PTX did an amazing cover. Kirstie poured so much emotion into her part. Thanks again for your reaction; we appreciate it!! ❤️ from Texas
I think this is my favourite pentatonix reactor.
Glad you are feeling better hugs
"Tears are OK" is the title of a novel by a Serbian writer
Love your reaction
Pentatonix covering When The Party's Over is emotional too. Here's a vote for that one! :)
The premise for this video is they are a picture. That’s why they’re all trying really hard not to move. (Scott is gripping the back of the chairs for dear life trying not to “hand sing”.)
The concepts for their videos are always stunning and well thought out. All the little details. :)
Fun fact: When Pentatonix came together as a group it was originally Scott, Mitch, Kirstie. They found Avi through a friend and Kevin through his YT videos of him playing cello and beatboxing. :)

They all have solo projects. You already know about Superfruit which is Scott's and Mitch's project. Please check out Kevin Olusola's awesome KO TH-cam channel. Start with "Down". Scott Hoying's channel is pretty awesome too. He started it before Pentatonix and continued to post on it until two years ago. Heck, check all of their TH-cam channels even if you don't react.
Kevin is amazing with the celloboxing, that’s what Kevin has called it, he is the first person to combine cello playing and beatboxing at the same time, it’s how Scott and Ben Bram the arranger that helps them behind the scenes found Kevin, they found him here on TH-cam and asked him if he would be the beatboxer in the group Pentatonix, and they sometimes let him do the celloboxin, Scott has now adding the piano in the song Thank You. That was the first time they has a piano in a song. Kevin has played the cello a few times on a few songs
It’s so sweet that you want to cry! I’ve never listened to this tune by anyone and haven’t bawled. And yes, it’s a cello…. My recently deceased mother was wonderful on the cello
Bruh you are like genuinely the purest soul. You're absolutely delightful. I'm so glad I found your videos.
Great reaction! I knew you'd love this one. Someone probably already posted this, but Kevin had put up videos of him "celloboxing", and that's how Mitch, Kirstin & Scott found him before they went on The Sing Off. Also, just a technical note: when you're pausing in the middle of a note or musical phrase it would be helpful to rewind back five or ten seconds when you're ready to listen again, otherwise you lose the impact of some of the more powerful moments (the end of this piece where Kirstin's in the middle of a note during the crescendo/build to the end of the song). :) Keep posting & we'll keep watching (happily!). Glad you seem to be feeling a bit better.
Ben Bram actually saw it.
@@gailseatonhumbert9199 My bad. I stand corrected.
Kevin Olusola - Sign of the times
My favorite by him
You need to see Kevin’s solo stuff, especially his Marian Hill cover of “Down.” Amazing
Yes yes yes. One of my favorite as well. I cry often. Enjoying your work.
They give me goosebumps every time i hear then
For solo stuff you have: Scott and Mitch brought out music under the name superfruit.
Kirstin brought out an Ep which is really good and Kevin has done some good solo stuff aswell
They are extremely talented and give even the toughest fucker goosebumps hearing them.
I love your reactions ❤️❤️❤️
Shallow~ Kevin plays the cello and cello boxes in that song too. Very powerful vocals too.
Beatbox always is Kevin (you should react to his celloboxing). Avi does other effects besides the bass.
There are 2 other big acapella groups on YT that are phenomenal, and you neeed to watch them to get a better understanding of the genre. Those groups are Home Free and Voiceplay, and trust me, they’ve done some songs that you just cannot miss. If you start reacting to Home FRee, you will definitely draw in The Home Fries (Home Free fans). Home Free can sing anything, but they are all southern and do do a lot of classic country, but even reactors who arent huge fans of country music absolutely adore them. Voiceplay is more similar to Pentatonix, but they are also completely different. For Home Free, you must start with “Ring Of Fire- Featuring Avi Kaplan.” Yes you read that right, AVI sings in hat, and it is astonishing. Both of those groups have bass singers who can go toe to toe with AVi, any day. For Voiceplay, please start with “Oogie Boogie song” and you will be absolutely blown away. After that, those fans will come over and recommend tons of songs for you.
I love this one!! Will rewatch every day. Along with Imagine, Sing, Can't Hold Us, Oh,Come All Ye Faithful and so many more. Depends on my mood.
God Bless and best wishes for success!
So glad you’re feeling better. I always enjoy your PTX reactions.
LOL "I think they added a violin, but it's really big". Thanks for that, laughed way too hard at that.
This is an example of Kevin Cello-boxing. And it's just a sample of what he can do. Great reaction!
Kevin blows my mind every time I see him beat box while playing the cello. He was playing one beat and making another!!! 😳
Also, passing this along in case it helps you get your videos past the copyright issue. I was watching some other PTX reactions, including some guy who has been doing them for since the sing-off. He said he does NOT wear headphones in the video bc it’s easier to get through copyright if the video has the sound from his speakers rather than an uploaded audio file. Apparently it also uploaded faster.
Thought it was a good tip. And your reactions are better. 😁
Watching your Mitch crush develop is all kinds of cute. This one gets me everytime too, Kirstie has so much emotion when singing it.
Oh wow, I'm very glad you guys are doing better. Yeah, you did have it right, it is a cello.
