My violin has been in the shop for the past week, and I've been practicing on quite an instrument: warped bridge (that is way too high), open seams, bad tone quality, and a cheap bow that is in desperate need of a rehair. And, I have a lesson tonight. In about an hour. I have seriously slacked off this week, and my excuse has been the violin, even though I have a stack of music about a mile high to get through in this lesson. Uh oh... I guess I was due for one of those dreaded bad lessons.... wish me luck.
Ciao,
Elena
