It's Good I Live Alone, Now...

...because even a good friend wouldn't want to be within half a mile of an out-of-practice violinist.

Czech it out!

The local antique stores are, for the most part, junk stores. They sell old things that nobody really wants (as opposed to slightly-used things that rich people want). I found this piece of junk next to a half-size member of its kin, chillin' and generally being useless -- the latter because it was missing two of its strings. A few days at the local music shop and it was back in working order.

Though, I don't remember holding a bow hurting this much, back in elementary. It's like someone punched me in the hand. Ow.

Maybe investing in some lessons wouldn't be a bad idea. If anything, it would force me to play. The bow thing will go away with practice and time. And I could potentially mooch free tuning off of the instructor. Being pretty much tone deaf sucks.

Regarding the subject line: Lies. Yay for practicing!

*looks at the picture* D'aw, it's so cute! 8D There are ways to improve on the tone deaf thing, and even without that, it's not as if you don't have a tuner or any musician friends with an ear.

*starts making cutesy noises at the wee little stringed thing*

Violin: *makes happy, warbly little A-like sounds*

So, musician friend with an ear, can I use you to tune this thing? >:3

I can offer some assistance in the tunings, if you so wish. ^_^ The Kitteh most likely has the ability as well, being a very musical feline.
