yes it is... its my baby i hardly let it out of my sight!!! when i went to rotto i left it at home and really started to miss it!

Your lucky Soph I dont even own my cello yet... Oh yeh and my favourite part in Korobushka is the slow duet of the violins that starts off with an up bow.

I don't own my cello either! We should start a club!

violin
In the beginning of Korobushka they use Sautille bowing which is a fast spicatto done with just the wrist-no arm movement. By the way...my violin is an Italian violin that's about 110+ years old. I just got it not long ago from a very especial friend. I love my violin!

kool yeah i love my violin, its prob not the best and ill need another one at about uni level but shes beautiful for now

:'( i really want an old violin. one orchestra friend of mine has a 200yr old violin which costed $7000! i sometimes wonder why he even brings it to school!

mmm thats kinda like mine... i hav a locker-thing for it tho with my own key (the music department at skool like me... i hav power there lol)

7000....?? thats not expensive (violin wise nyways) ma violin teachers is like $30,000!!! and theres better ones as well!!! mines only a whippy $2000 but its not very old, but the more i play the better it sounds, soon enough itll be an old violin, ehe

mmmm mine is about 6500 but i'll prob upgrade when i hit uni i hav a friend who has a 50000!!! and a friend who has a friend with a strad!!!

oh my goodness! such expensive instruments! I am upgrading my bass and the new one costs about $3,800. But it is only six years old... as many years that I have been playing! How cool is that?

that's a very cool coincidence!
