This was one fun weekend i have to say. A few of us stayed back for scoccer on Sat so we stayed back on Friday night to practice a lil here and there at night to make sure that we at least knew what we were going to expect the day after. Not surprisingly, what we seriously lacked were stamina and for some of us speed and got terribly ow3ed on the day itself. oh heck it was all for the fun of it anyways. But i must admit it was a little difficult to find fun in being decimated both in defense and offense xD
So anyways this morning i woke up refreshed and juvinated after a 13hours sleep. After a 7month long wait, i finally got down to synwin to get my violin serviced. Well, it was really amazing really how the person in charge of it really knew what he was doing. Like he asked if i had any reqquests like a mellower/brigter sound, if i needed the bridge lowered any all, and the brand of strings to actually suit my taste. He came across as really professional and all but haha he did make mistakes that might have got him killed for werent for the fact that we actually owned the shop. First he actually left a $500+ french made violin bow in my violin case. Hmmm, damn im feeling a little guilty for the fact that i actually comtemplated for about 3secs if i should actually have kept the bow for myself since that guy could prolly make any violin sound like a million bucks even if he didnt have that bow and here am i a noob little kid with just some cheap bow trying to make the very best of it with his violin. So yeah i did inform him and awwwww he just retrived it without a thanks T.T
So anyways i did purchase a bottle of rosin and a sholder rest. I just returned home and while scanning through the receipt....
Dominant Strings -- $48.20
Violin/Viola rosin (light) -- $19.80
Violin Maintance -- $40.00
And viola! No payment was made for the sholder rest which costs $40+. Amazing. To think that i actually have to make an hour+ long trip back there to inform him. Thats gonna be sighhhhhhh.
Anyways hopefully my IR will clash with my NAFA so that i can actually buy another week to get back into optimal shape. Hoho i suppose now it's training FTW
