I have a violin. Maybe it's a fiddle. Needs repair. Tired of the local wild goose chase. Resorting to asking internet strangers for advice.

Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

Find out who does work for your local school district. We have a single music shop in town, the bulk of their business is school sales/rentals/repairs. Lots of violins.

My immediate thought was trade it at a pawn shop to keep your kid from getting beat up.

Genius. My immediate thought was trade it at a pawn shop to keep your kid from getting beat up.
It is actually the wife's instrument. I was supposed to have it fixed three years ago. I hope to use the violin to postpone installing that ceiling fan. |

Go ahead and put in the ceiling fan. It takes hardly any time and that kind of thing impresses the wimmenfolk; just don't let on how easy it really is.
(Unless for some reason you're installing a completely new fixture instead of replacing an existing one. In that case, pay an electrician for that, it's worth it. Crawling around in your attic running new wiring is mucho suck.)

I am replacing a fixture. The fan is in a box at the bottom of the stairs. My wife, unfortunately, knows that I am adept at installing ceiling fans. Not that it is hard when there is an existing fixture. My other options are probably worse.

Is there a difference between violins and fiddles?

Depends on what kind of music you are playing. |

I saw a great bluegrass trio last year, mandolin/fiddle/guitar. The mandolinist was some famous picker (and a GREAT character, like 70 yrs young), and at one point he wanted to play some "Bay-toe" (Beethoven). The fiddler went and sat in the corner. The mandolinist explained: "He had to learn that classy stuff (classical) in school afore he could play the fiddle right (bluegrass). He ain't gonna play the Baytoe with us, he done with that stuff."
I got a chuckle out of it, anyway.

So very true though. When I took violin lessons, I was told I had to learn classical before I could move on to more "contemporary" pieces for the violin. |

I can not believe a spammer bumped a thread from 2006 and Trippy responded without noticing.

I can't believe that it's three years later and Yegolev still hasn't installed the ceiling fan.
