Last night I went to return the rental violin and successfully haggled the price down to what I was willing to pay, which amounted to a substantial discount.

Guys, I haggled.

I've never done that before. It was kind of a rush! And now I own the violin with the low bridge which I'm told should be useful to learn on since it's sort of a worst-case

Ooh, did it involve colorful archaic cursing and aspersions on ancestors?

I questioned his parentage and personal habits!

No, really I just named my price and stuck to it until he gave in. :)

55 shillings? You can usually get that kind of deal at Tottingham Court Road. ;-)

Go you!

Violin's lovely. I learned a bit of it in college, but one of these days I should just buy one to play around with.

Ooooh! You're learning the violin? Awesome! I play the violin, too. Practice instruments are awful, but certainly easy to take care of. You'll never look back if you manage to get a more professional violin. =) Good luck!
