Well, cellos, now, Vlad, mature veeeeery slowly. So if yours has started puberty it is probably several hundred years old. In fact it may be the first cello in history to have survived long enough to reach adolescence. They go through a period of crankiness and rebelliousness, I understand. Continued application of love and patience and endless tuning will have its rewards, and your cello will mature into a resbectable, balanced bass.

The chin hairs on your violin, however, are a different story. This is an indication that your violin has been seeing someone else behind your back. I suggest counseling.
