Anyone out there name their violin and bow? My violin is named Jonah because like Jonah who spent time in the whale, I felt like my years of not playing violin were spent inside some giant cave. My bow is named Hannah because after I got my violin I spent a lot of time searching for a bow and praying for the right one. I know it sounds strange but somehow these names just came to me.

I also have Bible verses for them.

Jonah 2:9 Salvation is of the LORD.

1 Samuel 2:1 My heart rejoiceth in the LORD. [Hannah's prayer]

I know of another violinist who named her violin Solomon. And I read on a board that someone's violin is named Juliet and her bow is named Romeo. That's cute.
