finally getting back to playing violin and im having such a hard time tuning it. the tuning pegs keep sliding out of place. its always had this problem because its an old violin and i think it was broken at some point near the A string tuning peg, there's a couple cuts in the wood and i remember my Dad having to get it fixed when i first started playing it in 7th grade. its an old family heirloom. im really worried actually because im probably going to have to get a new violin at some point, preferably one that's more my level, and that shit is Expensive.

#being a violinist is so fucking expensive this is one of the reasons ive been scared abt going back to playing 🥲#i already desperately need to get my bow rehaired and i have no idea how much that is going to cost #plus costs of constantly getting strings replaced and occasional fixes to when something fucks up like the bridge #and the fact that im no longer speaking to my dad who is the one who always paid and coordinated this shit because my mom doesnt know shit #about instruments #thankfully my mom is much more financially stable now than she used to be #anyways having to go to the music store to get rosin and a strings wipe already #ill have to get their help tuning it #and ill ask if they do bow rehairs #its the most generic music store so like. its not gonna be focused on professionals but rather beginners with cheaper stuff #theres fancier places of course usually run by old men who charge ungodly amounts of money #which is totally fair like its a craft and all #but. yeah
