A very satisfactory conclusion! You and they have done well. It should like the violin practice is going well. Apart from the cursed broken strings that is. I hate that!

Thanks! I think they've turned out alright XD
As I wrote the post over a period of a week or so I forgot that I'd written about the broken strings!
and even though I kind of reread them as I'm copying the posts over I still managed to miss it x_x
That got fixed about a week later, the strings were acquired but 15yo wasn't confident following Youtube tutorials so just waited til his next lesson when his violin teacher could show him how to do it. Apparently he had to change all the strings in one go because it would sound weird otherwise. This instrument is complicated.
I don't know if new guitar strings were acquired at the same time but either way the guitar remained broken until earlier today when 18yo's new boyfriend was over and decided to restring it (he just used the old string so I guess there was enough length, I hadn't actually looked at it not that it would have helped as I haven't done it before) and tune it so it's all good now.
New strings are a bugger. I messed up some new acoustic ones lately and I kept beating myself up for being a guitar newb. 😀
You should be very proud of your crew, its a great feeling to see them get on the road to greatness!
Right if you're messing them up I got no chance XD
I'm not even sure how you'd mess up new strings but I'm sure I'll find every way possible
I am and it is ^_^
I was astonished as I havent made a booboo with strings for many many years and I was showing my daughter and cut the string at the nut too close before I had even got it properly in tune and then it snapped right at the nut making it too short. I was like WAAARGH. :OD
Ohhhh noooooooooo XD
