My violin is a family air loom and, whilst not a Stradivarius,
it needs to be kept in the family and loved. I last recall it being played by
my older daughter some 25 years ago. And I also remember having to continually
repair it.
Every time the case opened, it needed new strings and bits and
pieces. It has stayed in that state of disrepair until a couple of months ago when
I thought I would get the violin restored.
Just
this week, the music shop phoned to say it was ready.
I thought: that was nice and it would be pristine with no
children destroying it.
Within half an
hour of that phone call, my younger daughter phoned: “would I baby sit this
weekend?"
Yes of course (my grandson is 7 and so sweet.)
She continued: “By
the way, he has just started violin
lessons”.
Arggh. It is time to hand down this air loom to the next
generation - she can continue the practice of getting it repaired.
I think I must be 'in tune' with the universal energies.
