Why, yes we are. We have large hickies, thus we always get lucky. blaugh
How many of you out there have a wonderful dark mark on your neck from you violin/viola? (Or as my girlfriend calls it "the other woman")

Actually, I only have a very, very slight one. Despite common belief, a violin or viola hicky doesn't necessarily mean you practice for hours and hours on end and thus are serious. It just means you're either allergic to metal, or your chinrest is the wrong shape. My violin teacher, a man who has been playing violin for fifty some years, has no mark at all, and he was one of Heifitz's lead students.
I got a new chinrest for me a few years ago and my mark hasn't accelerated and has actually subsided a little.
However, by all means, keep your hicky. For, as long as most people don't know that a violin/viola hicky is actually not a really good sign, keep them! Mine made me proud before it started to go away. Now mine's puny. Oh well.

I know that not all players get them. I was just asking because I was curious. Just about every string player at the university at which I attend has one.

No, but I have a tiny, very light bruise above my collar bone from accidentally ramming my violin into my neck >.<
