Tuesday I got a violin from the Music Connection store in redding! I have always wanted a violin!! So on Sunday night, I made my own contract and wrote down why I want a violin! And I had a talk with my mom that night and told her if she would please sign here to get me a violin. :) She said she would think about it. And the next day was Monday and I asked if she had talked with dad about it and if I could get it. She said that maybe tomorrow (which would be Tuesday) after we watch Mrs.M who we watch every Tuesday we can go to the Music Connection and rent a violin. I was super excited!! The rent to own is what we wanted to do. So every month for us to rent a violin would be twenty-five dollars. That twenty-five dollars would be going to the violin's cost if we ever wanted to buy it at the end of six months. So my mom said that if I wanted to still stick with playing the violin after six months then she said I could buy it.
The same day I got the violin I heh accidentally broke one of the violin strings and the bridge on the violin fell off. That all happened because I was trying to tune it! But it is normal for that to happen. And I feel like the string that I broke on the violin can be reached somehow. But I have no idea how to do that. So I am not going to touch it because if I do I might break another thing! So on Sunday, I wanted to take my violin to church because we are friends with somebody who has a daughter that plays violin and I wanted to ask her if she knew how to fix it or help me with it. I also have a sister-in-law who is a super good violinist but she lives in sacermento. But she sent me a video on how to tune my violin. That was super helpful! And I was thinking of doing online violin classes so she could teach me some violin from zoom or something. The Music Connection store can fix the violin probably for free but I know that is going to be looking pretty bad if I take it in a couple of days later after I rented it saying I broke something on the violin already. So I hope our friend at church can fix or help me with the violin.
Here is a picture of the violin before I broke some stuff off of it:
It’s a beautiful violin!!
