Yesterday I brought home my newest potentially unhealthy obsession–my big-girl violin. I use the phrase “potentially unhealthy obsession” because when I take on a hobby or project, I tend to get a little hyperfocused. Too bad that hyperfocus doesn’t seem to cling long enough to be productive but hopefully, by doing this along with Gracie, I will remain motivated. This should be interesting and more than a little grating to the ears. I’m trying to figure out why my bow isn’t creating any real sound off the strings but I’m sure it’s something that has to do with the tightness of the bow or maybe the new strings. Or maybe it isn’t either of those things and I either have a shit violin (doubtful) or it’s the forces of physics–sound most specifically–taking care of the rest of the world.
