String Haiku
April 30, 2010 15:24
Strings old, cash too low
Six months, twelve months, eighteen months
Dominants last long
Man say “Hey, you’re hired”
Money returns, we’re all glad
Restaurants and new strings
String Mall makes good deal
Dominants on lower three
Choose your own E string
Wrapped package arrives
Feels like Christmas time again
Anticipation
Old tired strings find trash
AGED means change in that order
Silver winks at me
Pirastro for E
Comes with little plastic tube
Beats Dominant E
Peg dope is my friend
Turn peg toward you not away
Maybe backwards – oops
One string change per day
Tighten too far, string goes snap
Fiddle now ready
Bow coaxes sound out
Stretching string makes mournful moan
Chromatic tuner
Writing string haiku
Brings home warm fuzzy feeling
Violin and me
