OK, not quite, but I have half a day of work left.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

And just found out I have my first violin lesson tomorrow, at my house! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Which is brilliant, as I have all my music there so he might be able to pick something and save me a little money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I haven't touched the instrument since the consultation, I figured it would only compound the problems!

Soooooooo excited, roll on 10am!! The kids will be banished to their bedroom for the duration (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Wow... still sounding fantastic!!

I have the hand-made Jay Haide viola and I love it. My one has had a problem with the seam but I think that was due to it hanging in a shop for five years on the wall and unplayed. But truly the sound is lovely and I've been told it's a very nice instrument by a top luthier.

But I've bored EVERYONE to death about it in the thread 'Hannah is sick' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif)

Good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/party1.gif)
