Tomorrow I have an Earth Science regents, how fun. And I have been studying so much that it is hard to find time to practice. But I manage, I am just worried about playing and tuning my violin because the state the bridge is in (keeps falling, and is bent) because I am worried if my bridge falls again that my soundpost would fall
:(. Right now I looking for a new violin. Not to seriously yet though, because I dont have the money quite yet and prob. wont have it until February (MY 16th BIRTHDAY!). But if I do get one from where I want they said they would give me $900 for my violin (even though it was appraised for $1200 by them). But whatever. and I get $500 for my birthday so that means i can get a $1400 violin YES!! which isnt a whole lot but I have a nice bow now, but my case is crap so i need to get a new one. I have heard a lot about wolf tone lately and I had never heard it out of my violin. But the otherday I did. But I dont know why to many people would be conserned with it because it is so quiet that I could barely hear it.

Hey, what happened to your signature sign-off phrase?

Geige kaufen...I have been thinking about that too! Good violins are so expensive! I think considering switching to french horn is a good idea...

That is too bad your bridge keeps falling over. You can always get the luthier to teach you how to adjust it. I end up adjusting mine after I do a lot of tuning.

Yah well I think it is just from old age... it is 66 years old.... but I am getting a new one because I certainly dont trust that one.

I don't think it would be old age, but perhaps if the bridge hasn't been looked after then possibly. It's not expensive to get a new bridge, and should make a difference.

Enjoy looking for a new violin.
