Project 365: #141 New Strings

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!

How happy am I that my violin is getting new strings??? VERY happy! It all happened when the violin somehow went out of tune cause the string were slipping (I do not know the correct term for that sorry) and my friend had to tune it. She complained that my string was rusty (yes indeed it was but they still sound good!) and said I should overhaul it (change new strings). Being a procrastinator that I am I do not know when I will swing by the music store (I have never been there) and she was nice enough to ask for a set of new strings for me. Oh I love you so deary! Now, I need these suckers on my violin.

The strings that are on the violin are the original ones (except for the A string cause it snapped years ago). It must have been bought together with it (or it may have been older) and that was almost 10 years ago or more. My dad bought it in Germany and I am very proud of it (and also CLK is half German? XD hahahahahahaha). I would love to get a new one hopefully soon, somewhere in the future. Another love for another time. (I would insert a picture of my violin but I think it has made its way into my blog one time or another. Will have to take another picture of the before and after overhaul :D).

Project 365: #116 V is for OMGajsfhosidh awesome violin!

We have a show this weekend, it's a festival a few towns (like 3 hours drive!!) away, so I shall be away enjoying myself and taking tons of pictures so hopefully I can upload! And I am slacking at blogging about my friend's wedding!! =___='' bad bad blogger. No worries, it will be coming up.

So enough about that. I wanted to share with you something my friend brought to our practice this few nights. It's something I totally want for my birthday in the future. Ahem, ahem...someone please take note on this :P

This was pretty cool, and it sounds awesome. But I would love this one more!

Peter Korbel and the works

So as it turns out there are plenty of circle and squares that will be present in my calender starting today. :) Ok it is a good thing and also a bad thing. I found out that the movie The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus is still showing (yay!) but it also means that I can't go and watch it tonight, since I have my practice. For a concert. By Peter Korbel.

For who you say? (I am sure some of you may know or may not know who Peter Korbel is, I don't exactly know but his name sounds familliar. Really.) Peter Korbel. I will post a YouTube video of him playing his guitar.







Ok he is the dude that plays awesome guitar (or so I have heard.) but I might have to google him after I write this. And we also have a line of shows and functions (and hopefully I am selected to play!) after Peter Korbel.

:D So you see I am keeping myself busy. Here's what we practiced last night. Was an awesome piece but it was pretty hard since it was our first time playing it! :D It rocks tho! It's a piece by Tchaikovsky, Serenade for Strings movement II.
