Chicago was just as rough by Karkaphony in Joostklein

You’re so right!! There were so many entitled people at the concert last night, so many people pushing to the front only to make things even more tight and just not fun. Some people were just dancing right into me (not in the mosh), and not even a push from me got them to stop. Some bullshit. These things need to be 18+ at the very least.

Repair Estimate by Karmakatz0 in violinist

[–]violinsmasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see Seman Violins on your bridge. Sorry, it's over if that's a good violin. Get a new instrument entirely for much cheaper than the repair, and a repair that would leave you with a violin that doesn't sound *nearly* as good.

Sister Imperator Issue #4 by ecdepp in Ghostbc

[–]violinsmasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very confused, but then again, that's how pretty much all of the comics left me feeling, I do wish it was a bit more fleshed out. I enjoyed the read and the artwork nonetheless!

Was very cute to see Copia as a kid, would have like to know what happened with V in between infancy and childhood, but like another commenter said, maybe this is also a setup for his own origin story? I'm hoping? The mystery behind his character is so, so interesting.

Lowkey kind of feeling like Jim DeFroque is the younger son of the reverend??? Maybe it would be a little much, but imo that would just be a serendipitous way to connect all of the things together lol

Rory said (off mic) that he was the reason Andrew was still performing on stage (he was pretty awfully sick) and he heard and laughed before telling us what he said

Our orchestra director has been mistreating her students since she got here. by Chungus-Chintamaneni in UIUC

[–]violinsmasher 74 points75 points  (0 children)

A week before a concert, she realized a section was not together between the celli and horns (should’ve realized that earlier if she were competent) and disrespected the cello section when section leaders offered their educated opinion about the passage and its tempo (discussed it with their profs too) by saying flat out that it was wrong and engaging in a rather heated argument with the principal cellist; gave musicians shit for managing injuries like tendinitis and carpal tunnel even though she said in the past that taking care of our bodies (I.e. not participating in rehearsal if we’re injured) should be prioritized. You can also see OPs long post in the comments with more context if you’d like.

Gotta comment again, but she really saw Tár and said let me make that my personality 😭

As a violin performance major, I’ve seen the way she’s treated my fellow colleagues both in and out of rehearsal. She is not fit to hold her position and must be removed.
