Thankfully, I don't cry automatically at certain instruments. As an orchestral musician in training, that would make what I do pretty hard.

Music is supposed to make you feel something. If you're listening to music and you're feeling something, that means they are doing their job.

Do you cry at literally all music with violins in it? Do you ever cry at other instruments/voice? I could understand crying at Beethoven or Mahler but if you cry at literately every piece including upbeat bouncy music like Hoe Down from Copland's Rodeo, that's a little different. Did something happen that is in someway connected to a violin and is upsetting you?
