Yeah that's exactly what happened to my old violin too. Well actually, I'm not 100% sure what happened to it, I was living with my aunty when it happened. But I was still devastated nevertheless. I think my mamma was trying to make up for what happened by getting me this one.
Can you afford a new one?

Goodness, where do you think the term "air guitar" came from???? People making themselves look silly while having a great time! I tend to crank the music sky high and grab my guitar (which my hands won't let me play any more) and I strum and strum even though nowhere near tune or on key! But it still sounds good (with the music on loud.) 
The only way you learn to play is to practice ... and that includes many straining notes.  |
Yeah I love music too, I'm always cranking it up or have my headphones on loud (not good I know!), I have a lot of classical and any violins always made me wish I could start playing again.
I was reading the book yesterday and having a go on my violin, and I actually remember a LOT more than I realised. I still sound a bit blah, and I'm still remembering how to read the music (which is actually the hardest part of learning to play), but once I've got that sorted out, I'ma be right back where I used to be. I can't wait until I can play super awesome, and one thing I've always wanted to be able to do but still can't, is have vibrato. I remember my teacher trying to explain how to do it, but dammit, it's just impossible!
