After several stories of run-ins involving cellists and airlines this year, now comes a more harmonious tale.

The cellist Ian Maksin was on an American Airlines flight from Chicago to Fort Lauderdale when he got out his instrument and began playing for the first-class cabin. The Manhattan School of Music graduate seemed unfazed even when the captain got on the P.A. and alerted passengers to buckle up ahead of some turbulence.
