I have a predisposition to not liking concerts. Regardless of the amount of time I've spent practicing, I never feel prepared. Then there is the inconvenience of time (I'm a routine person) and that lurking feeling that if something can go wrong, it will. I feel that when something goes wrong, it's never something small.
This time, there's a bit of back history to this mishap. Back in January, I ordered a new set of strings for my viola since it was [well] past time that I change them. I changed my strings out the first week of February and only expected to have to deal with slipping pegs (is this a viola thing?) and breaking the strings in. I was pleased that they adjusted quickly, but quite upset when my Jarger A broke after 5 days. Because it was right before rehearsal, I put the old A string (also Jarger) back on.
