Violin for Sale

I am selling Benji's violin that he has outgrown. I would like to advertise it on the blog for a week or two, then it is going up on KSL.com if nobody in the ward wants it. Here are the specs: Child's violin 1/8 size, appropriate for most 5-7 year olds. Klaus Mueller Etude Deluxe violin from Southwest Strings, made in 2008. 4 fine tuners, Zyrex strings, upgraded chin rest Price includes Brazilwood bow, yellow Kuhn collapsible shoulder rest, rosin, black Kyoto dart case with red velvet interior, scarf, and satin violin bag. This is a student violin but it's a little bit nicer than the average violin you would rent with a fiberglass bow and case. $300 mbagley mathtutorbagley@hotmail.com

PROVIDENT LIVING TIP

4 Cups hot tap water

1 fels-Naptha soap bar (found at Macey's)

Fill a five-gallon bucket half full of very hot tap water. Add melted soap, washing soda and Borax. Stir well until all powder is dissolved. Fill bucket to top with more hot water. Stir, cover and let sit overnight to thicken.

You can add 10-15 drops of essential oil per two gallons, Add once soap has cooled.

If you are wanting to dilute this mixture put it in a container half full...then fill the rest up with water. Use a 1/2 cup in your washer. Iif you are not diluting it, only use 1/4 C of the mixture.
