 <html>@&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/1742&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Zach K.&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;zach121k&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; I actually bought a violin. I was poking around some music stores, checking out basses. I think I want to upgrade to an Engelhardt ES1, but to my ears an EC1 (which I had to sell when I moved 'cause it wouldn't fit in my car, boo!) sounds just as good. One of the stores had a violin for $35. I was like 'Holy crap, a $35 violin, I MUST HAVE IT!', so I bought it. I'm used to bass prices, and the cheapest bass you'll find is $500, so seeing an instrument from the same family for $35 blew my mind, and I had to have it. I don't play it 'cause I make it sound bad and the treble clef is weird, but I have it.</html>
