It's a little known fact, that my Mummy played the violin. She played it today in fact. It's been some years since she last got it out of its box: the A-string had snapped and needed to be replaced.
Today the man in the music shop fixed it for her, and she brought it home. I sat down in anticipation as she got it out of its box and began to tune it up. She drew the bow over the strings.
Awwww-eeee-ooooooh. I just managed to stop my hands going to my ears.
"I think it needs new batteries, Mummy" I said helpfully.
But Mummy shook her head. "It doesn't take batteries."
"Perhaps it needs more new strings," I suggested, "or maybe some food would make it feel better!"
