If you had a dollar...

if i had a dollar every time my DB was called a "cello"

i am not rude in my reply when i tell them it is an upright or double bass but i am always surprised.

i get the music programs in school are hardly existent and kids don't get the exposure to these instruments, but knowing what a cello is tells me you know something. i'm not sitting while playing and this thing is huuuuuge!

If I had a dollar for every time someone said this to me:
