I have a 19th Century Italin Violin and Flute. My mom gave me tbe flute and I inherited my Stradivari from my Great Aunt who was a professional Orchestra Member. Violin is one of my all time favorite instruments so I absolutely love it and care for it as a Violin should be cared for. . .especially an old one. 😊

Only recently have I noticed how important it is to clean the violin after practice. I was doing it every month! Also, I put so much rosin that the bridge was warped because I was using the fine tuners and there was so much rosin that it moved the violin. Luckily it wasn't broken yet.

The violin, viola, cello, and double bass are the string family.
