Bea has been learning the violin at school and we said she could have her own once she'd been playing for at least 6 months. Today her Windsor Half Size arrived and although it's relatively cheap and cheerful it's still rather beautiful. Thanks to the marvel that is 't'internet', I now know how to use rosin to prepare a bow and I can tune the four keys on a half violin - G, D, A and E - hence the mnemonic. Can't say the cat's that impressed which is surprising given the fact many people believe the two things can sound alike.
