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.
@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.
@weirdfizz they are such delicate items
