I came home from school. All was good.

Then I got out my violin, and my bow, and I saw that half of the hairs were completely severed.

Then I got out my spare bow... only to find it in a similar state.

And people wonder why I get so uncomfortable when other people touch my instruments!

So now I need to pay to replace the string on my violin (it broke ages ago), plus a new bow.

Yay, time to take on extra art commissions and babysitting hours...
