Characters Q&A · 2:39am Apr 18th, 2015
I am give you the opportunity to ask my characters: James Tinwool, Harmonic Trotivari, Mr. Disc, or Record Scratch and Octave Melody, Agent F(aust), or young Lauren any questions you like. Be it their thoughts/opinions on something, their backgrounds, or what they have been doing.
I have only two rules when doing this: First, be reasonable with your questions. Also, please ask who you want your question to be answered.
So please go ahead, ask away!
2997406 To be honest, it's not the first time that I've thought about it. Ever since the fire, I've tried as best as I could to protect my violin from getting broken. When I was a teenager, I protect it like a mother would with her foal. Now, however, it's much more easier to care for it not only it's a violin for a Prince of Equestria, but like you said, it is a real Trotivarius. So you're right, buying another one is already difficult as it is. In fact, my violin, which I've been told is the most perfect acoustic instrument ever constructed. The cost of it at auction would easily collapse Equestria's economy overnight!
Also, you're quite right on having a tremendous sentimental value. So of course I have to be careful with it like any other instrument. Yet the thought of what would happen to if, say, the neck got broken or worse the sound-box were to get smashed. If that does happen, I will try to use my powers of a Prince to search for someone who could repair it since I know that ponies are still making these things as well as repair them.
But if worse does come to worse, I have a ace on hoof that nopony in the world knows. When I was young and my dad was alive, apart of helping him test the instruments, I would be called to assist him to make these said instruments. He did this because he wanted to past down the family trade to me. I remember going into the forests to chose the right tree, carefully carve out the blocks of wood, gluing them together, making the varnish to be put on as well as learning how to stringing them. Although I prefer to play them, I have the advantage of making some of them.
Also, if there's any other question you have about me or anypony else here, ask away.
