My sister gets her comissioned violin this weekend. Jealous? :)
Of course! Though I really have far better instruments that someone of my level of talent and ability deserves, especially my guitar and mandolin. My fiddle is just a German student instrument from the '20s, but I love it just the same...it's nice and LOUD!
I think it's against the law to play fiddle music on a commissioned violin, anyway. ;-)
