Introducing 'The Hickey-matic' a temporary Violin Hickey!

April 1, 2024, 3:29 PM · Are you a naturally talented violinist that gets treated differently because you don’t need to practice 4 hours a day?

Do you wish people would judge you based on how well you play, and not the way you looked?

Then, we’re excited to tell you about a revolutionary new product from Fiddlershop.com that will change everything. Introducing: “The Hickey-Matic” a temporary hickey for violinists and violists!

We all know the violin hickey is the “blue check” of legitimacy that demonstrates to the world that you spend an exorbitant amount of time playing the violin, but now, for only $19.99, you can project that same level dedication, instantly!

Just think about all the things you could be doing instead of spending those 10,000 hours in a practice room, trying to get a hickey the “old-fashioned” way:

Learn about social norms and cues
Read a book
Do your taxes
Build a family
Go to therapy
Watch Netflix
And so much more…

“The Hickey-matic” comes in two levels of intensity for whether you need just a light hickey to prove to your teacher that you still want to stay in the studio, or the severe hickey to intimidate other audition candidates before you even play a note.

Best of all, it’s removable in seconds, saving you from embarrassing situations with romantic partners.

Pick up your “Hickey-matic” today at Fiddlershop.com and then get back to doing anything other than practicing!

APRIL FOOLS!
