Afternoon folks. I'm going to run my youngest out to the strings store to get new strings on her violin. Her school orchestra teacher says her violin doesn't project enough. He's been pushing her to get a different violin but she doesn't want one. Hers is a nice one and we're thinking that new or different strings might help.
Good morning y'all 
Thanks, PT. It's been about 4 years, so it was a pleasant surpirsie.
Hope the new strings help, Hitt. Violins are not inexpensive

I thought I was the only one that went that long without a raise. I'm not quite there yet but getting close. I helped my daughter put the strings on and so far she is very happy with them. I think the sound is louder and more crisp. I asked the guy at the music store and he said that we should probably be replacing strings each year. The old ones were on there for about three years. They are a lot more expensive than guitar strings. I could get at least five or six sets for what one of her sets cost but it's worth it to make her happy. She's more into playing than my oldest daughter was and has consistently been first or second chair.
I bet new strings are still less expensive than a new violin I'm glad they sound better
seems like going without raises is more the norm these days than getting them regularly.

You've got that right about being cheaper than a new violin. The store we bought it at will give us what we paid for it there for trade in but the next step up is going to be 1-2k.
Ouch...and yet, you'd do it if you had to. Glad it's not necessary right now.
Good Morning. Must be upper 50's here this morning, fall has arrived.
No more Monday morning conference calls for me!

Howdy PT. I just got home from work. I need to get in a workout tonight. My workout schedule has been a little erratic lately.
That's great. I usually do better in the winter since there's no yard work to do.
I like summer because I can walk to the Y, it was misting today so I drove but then I walk in the indoor track and its boring.
