the case has been decided...

January 8, 2006 at 10:30 PM

I finally decided on a case and it's pefect timing really. My teacher noticed that I've been putting in my bow diagonally since it's too long for my student case in one slot, damn coda bows. And that puts pressue on the violin itself since the bow crosses over the fingerboard.

I looked at all kinds of cases and decided on the Bam Hightech Carbon with the large music pocket. This one is full suspension, is long enough for my bow, and has a full music pocket. Besides that it looks like I'm smuggling nuclear secrets in it. I can't wait to try use it with my electric. That instrument already looks like something out of Flash Gordon. I'll probably mostly be using it with my acoustic though. I didn't think I'd enjoy playing acoustic as much as I do, but it's got a certain quality that's different than the electric. The electric on the other hand is sooooo much more forgiving.

Yes, I know, boys with their toys. Oh, but such wonderful toys;)

Okay, am I the king of all dorks now?

Flash Gordon is my favorite movie of all time.

btw, this is a stereo 3d photo, so if you cross your eyes till you see a 3rd picture in the middle, that 3rd picture is in 3D.
