If you're a musician, please monitor your heart rate as you read this. I got new strings for the violin and will be changing them.

I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get my neice's violin tuned properly. Each string was one note lower than it should be, and I just couldn't get any better without serious risk of a snap. Then I found out why.

Those are the strings I helped her put on 8 years ago.

@weirdfizz as a violinist of just under 29 years...yipes....I think my heart skipped a beat or two by the way...

@insomniacviolin She loosened the bow and everything was strapped into the case while it was stored. But yeah...the strings. I greatly appreciate her sending it to me, and I think the instrument will be happier with me.
