My dad gave me this cheap violin when he moved, the tuning pegs don't hold in place and the other night, while clutching the violin under my chin, I started tuning it up and getting a little testy with the tuning pegs before that sentence my dad told me years ago flashed in my head- "No one ever wakes up and thinks 'this is going to be the day I lose an arm'" and promptly stopped myself from risking an eye-loss.
