I refuse to practise playing my violin when I’m around other people, even my family members, though I actually enjoy playing (but of course no one at home seems to believe me).  I finally coughed up ~$200USD (plus $50CAD custom fee and tax!) for a cheap electric violin on Ebay.  I know for that $250 I could have used it to upgrade my acoustic violin or my bow, but at least I’m practising now.

Oh.. and my bow crapped out finally so I need to replace it… and the fingerboard on the violin needs planing… and the tailpiece needs changing.  It isn’t too bad, considering this is my violin’s FIRST EVER maintainance/service ever since I started playing!
