Whats weird for me is that mine never breaks around me!
During summer, i was practicing my viola, and my grandma called me downstairs, so i put it in the middle of the bed, and when i came back 10 minutes later, my D string broke, and my bridge slid off.
So of course I'm like WTF?!!
Other than that, mines never been broken.

That actually happened to my friend Emily. It snapped right in her face while she was playing. It didn't hurt her, it just startled her is all XD

Things that have happened to Benny:
*In the early days I was trying to tune my G string when I turned the top peg too far and the string flew across the room and the bridge popped out. Turns out the G string had been frayed badly before I had messed with it.
*Turning the G string peg too far again and the bridge popped out (surprise, surprise)
Things that have happened to other people's instruments:
*Lin's sound post was knocked out by the other Elizabeth (there are 2) and she still uses that violin and has never bothered to get it fixed.
*Agenda dropped her cello and the bridge popped out and the fingerboard came completely off (that was the second time she had broken it)
*Alex, my boneheaded stand partner, hung his viola by the scroll on our stand even though I warned him not too and sure enough it fell off and the fingerboard was detached completely.

For some odd reason it's always my G string that does bad things to me. I'm not sure why. It stinks because both times it happened I was supposed to be practicing highly important songs for school/private lessons that involved the G string.

I do sometimes but I usually catch it before it falls. sweatdrop But when I was in 5th grade my teacher never tuned my C string and it got loose (which annoyed me one day) and I over tighten it, and then I had to replace the bridge twice (which I had no clue about my mistake until a day or two) and saw that bridge snapped in half.
Someone else flipped it over before they left school and chipped the paint on concert. On another my case was near the chalk board and my black case turned orange (took a very long time to turn black again).

My D string broke last week in class sad I had a spare...it was an old one I saved for such an occasion, but I couldn't get it on Dx It was so depressing. I asked this girl who plays the violin to get it for me...it took a good ten minutes for her, but I was so grateful! I hate the cold >.< It hurts my poor violy.

Kaida_Breath  Has anyone here ever.... "Hurt" their Viola? Hurt as in, dropping it, smashing it against a chair, popping a string, breaking a bridge, etc.? If you have, post the accident you caused here and tell everyone a little bit about what happened! Thanks Much! I've done: Smashed it against the stand, dropped it, broken all strings once, broke bridge twice, dropped it in the trash can... Tons more. sweatdrop I'm a klutz...
