cello.

Accordian!

A pretty woman with a properly positioned cello is an engaging visual.

Have you ever seen a woman playing a tuba? You might not be so quick to dismiss it if you had!

Cellos can rock, too- Hall of the Mountain King by Apocalyptica.

You'll never be asked to carry a piano somewhere in order to play it.

Go with piano (due to the carrying issue my mom says choosing cello in high school was the stupidest thing she ever did (though I suspect hyperbole since she did have me before graduating high school)).

If EH took up the cello I might faint dead away at the absolute hotness of it all. *fanning face*

BTW if anyone wants to take up acoustic guitar...mine is sitting around. :(

I have a piano in storage.

I have a tuba four

Thought about it from time to time, but then I remind myself that the $50 for a guitar would repair the bridge on my cello, in which case, I could just be playing that again.
