#personal #OHHHH I FUCKED UP #i fucked up so hard #disinfectant spray got on my violin #and by the time i noticed the varnish was already FUCKED #my heart actually like dropped to the floor when i saw all these WHITE SPOTS ON MY VIOLIN #i wiped off one shoulder in time #but the rest. is absolutely fucked #the spray is dried now but it’s made the varnish all tacky #and the varnish was coming off as i was wiping so i just had to stop before i made things worse #fuuuuuuck #fuck fuck fuck fuck #this is looking like a very very expensive and time-consuming problem #it smells like a whole can of disinfectant spray #I’m trying to air it out rn but somehow i feel like the smell is gonna stay there until i get it fixed #what do i even do #this is like the number 1 rule of what NOT to do with a violin #is getting CHEMICALS ON IT #fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck #do i even have enough time/money to bring it into a luthier #how am i supposed to teach violin WITHOUT my violin #idk how long it would take for this to get fixed #i dont even know if the sound has changed #SURELY not……. surely not…. right? #it sounds okay when i pluck it #but it’s 10pm so unless i want noise complaints at my door. i can’t test it out #fuck! fuck and shit #what do i even tell my boss #my students are gonna be like what happened to your violin #what happened was an idiot (me) got hubris about sanitising the space without packing up the very expensive instrument first
