102nd Devotion: Musical Pursuits

[Video]

[Solomon steps back so the recording device can clearly show him standing there holding a violin and bow delicately in one hand. His brow is creased, and a slight frown of discontent and frustration graces his features.]

Is there a skilled luthier in the city? There seems to be something wrong with my violin... allow me to demonstrate the problem.

[He lifts the instrument and places it under his chin; his fingers wrapping around the fingerboard to press the strings down and begins to draw the bow across the strings. But the melodious sound that one might expect to hear doesn't occur. Instead, the notes that he plays are grating, the song (if one could even call it that) discordant and it's tone as if a cat is being tortured.

The doctor frowns again, and with an apologetic look withdraws the violin to rest by his side once again.]


See? That's the problem. Clearly it needs to be repaired, the sound is completely off. Nathan would be horrified...


[ooc: I'm a Professional Curse: Professional Musician/Violinist. Sadly, Solomon doesn't know a thing about actually playing one....]
