A violin is given life when bought out of its coffin. It's given a life when held with tender and care. It's not just wood with strings. It has a voice that can sing and a pulse that beats in the violinists talented hands. The sound it does while its strings are plucked leave it's audience breathless and gasping for air while shouting for an applause. A violin is given life when you carry it around in the light and fresh air. It's given life when held in your gentle hands* ~
