crooked bridge

I tuned my viola last night. It has been over 5 years.

I polished the wood, cleaned the strings, and plucked some familiar notes.

I love all the rituals connected to playing a stringed instrument: putting rosin on the bow, adjusting the chin rest, turning the pegs to tune the strings, plucking A, then A and D together, finding the low C, lingering on my favorite string G.

Oh, and let's not forget vibrato.

Her bridge is a tad crooked.
