Okay so I went and bought my new VIOLIN today, I didn't get a viola, I figured I'd save, oh I don't know, $150. I got the violin, a chin support, electronic tuner, and music book for $288. B-A-R-G-A-I-N.

PC, I'd like you to meet Sven-




Sven comes in a brown case, as opposed to the usual blue, green or red, so I'm pretty stoked, as brown happens to be my favourite colour (yes you can look at me weird for that, but it is a very underrated colour). When I saw it and told the guy serving me he said he was glad because he was worried I wouldn't like it at all.

I haven't really played yet though, I feel kind of silly. You know when you feel like even though there's nobody around, there must be somebody in the room watching you make a complete *** of yourself?
I don't remember ANYTHING, it's been 10 years. I mean I could waywardly play Jingle Bell Rock or Mary Had A little Lamb, but I don't even remember the name of the strings. And the strings sound so, they are like deja vu, it kind of freaked me out a little because the last time I had a violin in my hand was before things started happening. And holding it feels kind of awkward, I remember it being so much bigger (of course I was a little tacker back then).

Oh well, maybe one day I'll catch up to my old William Tell Overture days...
