Dog & house sitter, July – August
Looking for a dog and house sitter to stay at our West Philadelphia home between July 12 and August 10. Will be taking care of Clio, our very sweet dog. Great location near restaurants, parks, SEPTA. Ideal for students staying in Philadelphia over the summer.
Used Student Cello
Due to hand problems and no-longer being interested in conservatory, I am selling my well-maintained Frank Denti cello crafted by Los Angeles String Instruments Inc. made in 2006, purchased in 2022. In addition to its lovely varnish, it has a fairly sweet, rich tone. Ideal for serious students and advancing players looking for a fairly responsive, warm-sounding instrument. The cello comes with a Bellafina ABS hard case with wheels for easy transport and backpack straps if you prefer carrying it on your back. The cello currently has a set of Larson strings installed within the past year, and two bows that would likely need rehairing. I am also including a strapless rockstop, a KORG TM-60 tuner/metronome in black, and a wonderful $116 WMutes practice mute in matte silver for no additional charge. Price for the cello with strings, case and accessories is $2,300, but this can be negotiated. I live nearby Swarthmore College, and you can reach via email or text if interested/would like photos.
