Liam was finally able to get a new violin today. Since it was so close to concert time she didn’t want to have him upgrade to a bigger size since they get used to putting their fingers in a certain spot and changing the size changes where your fingers go…just a little bit. But the concert is over now, so we got the green light to trade in. He was definitely ready. The lady who fits the violins said that he is almost ready to move up to the next size. This is Liam’s third violin. It is so funny when you get these violins because they are rentals so they have a history. The violins and bows usually look okay, but the cases look like they have been through a war. We battled with our last case because the zipper was broken when we got it, as was the clasp that holds the strap on. (I eventually just threw the strap away, it was useless). The case we got today is no better. The outside looks okay, but the inside it all beaten up. The thing that holds the bow in place doesn’t hold the bow in place. Hmmm… that poses a problem. Colm will soon be getting a violin, too. He is very excited!
