twang! swear, mutter, wail
Okay, not my most original or descriptive titles really! I finally got round to tuning up Aprilia’s "new" violin today. Was just coaxing the last string into tune when there was a twang. So I looked to see which string had pinged (they are living on borrowed time by the looks of htem, it’s one reason why I’ve been delaying tuning it up!) only to find that it was the cord that holds the tailpiece onto hte body of hte violin that had snapped. So now I am investigating the possibilities of using a zip tie to replace it as I refuse to go and pay someone to fix it as it will probably cost more to fix than it is worth. So the chances of Frere Jacques at came are diminished (you can consider yourself reprieved!)
ok, will try and find mum’s good box. sure there are bits in there for all eventualities
