A case is just a case

~ Tara R.

violin and casse

Sometimes a violin case is just a violin case.

It’s not a holster for a machine gun, lying in wait to be brought out to mow down gangsters and rival thugs.

It’s not a spy’s valise, carrying government secrets that if they fall into the wrong hands could topple kings and presidents.

It’s not a treasure chest, a safe place to conceal magnificent riches, hidden away from those who seek to steal your diamonds and gold.

Sometimes, it’s merely a leather attaché, lined with plush blue velvet and silk to tenderly cushion a delicate and prized musical instrument.

  6. I liked this on several levels. And like violin cases, sometimes people are just what they seem, too. Very nice!

  7. The picture is excellent!
    But, poor violin. It’s bridge is missing and strings look rough. In fact, the e-string looks like it’s missing too. Breaks my heart. Still, the picture is very inspiring. 🙂
    Would you be offended if I linked to a short story I wrote on a violin player?
