Contrary to the title, I did not go to the Lord of the Rings concert (December 11, 2004 (Saturday), 18:00, Howard Shore: The Lord of the Rings Symphony, Tokyo International Forum Hall A). This is about Mr. K, the tuner who ended up being put in charge of the cimbalom, coming to stay at my house today. In this case, “being put in charge” may sound as though he is responsible for adjusting the instrument, but that is not so. Of course, he will probably also adjust the instrument, but this time he is going to perform. What a surprise. At first, the request came to us, but because I had a prior commitment on the 12th, I declined it. Then, incredibly, the role passed to Mr. K, who had been responsible for tuning. What a surprise. Is that really all right…? The tickets cost ¥12,000:hammer:.
Of course, he does not own the instrument. So he hurriedly came to stay at my house, and we ended up practicing.
Hmm.
