Happy Birthday, Elise


Happy Birthday to my little violin virtuoso! Twelve years old and going into Young Women. How is that possible? You were just born five years ago.

When grandpa and I were in Hong Kong last year we attended a dinner at which a young man performed on a chinese violin called an erhu. I was really fascinated by this instrument and caught a few minutes on a video. The instrument has only two strings and the bow is played between the two strings. It has a very unique sound, but I'll take Elise's music any day!
