Funny you should mention that. My photo shoot with Trisha was delayed by a couple of weeks because the violin was broke! Trisha's brother, who also plays the violin, while having the instrument out on loan committed the foul deed.

My understanding of these matters comes from a bit of a distance. My instrument gets tossed into my front pocket with loose change and breath mints (can't remember seeing the harmonica played at the symphony).

I figure anybody that would loan their violin to their brother wouldn't mind setting it down on my fancy eatin table.
