Yeah, the first three weeks or so of school-sponsored violin were all building up a modicum of arm strength & figuring out how to hold the darn thing. Of course, at this point I can't do the slouchy wrist things that you're supposed to use for early period shoulder holds...

Now I am going to drool over carbon fiber instruments again. The odds of my ever actually being able to justify spending 5 grand or more on an instrument are vanishingly small, but... Also there was the testimonial story about the lady who got stuck in a snowbank in CO somewhere & dragged her carbon fiber cello home several miles through the snow, dried it off, & it was still in tune.
