YES. YOU TELL HER. She shouldn't be so nosy, you know. 😩 ...too bad she has thick skin.

ACK I kind of cringed a bit when I saw how she was holding the bow haha. I stopped playing the violin years ago but I still know how it should look like. She really does need some work 😂

But wait, it looks like she has anger issues. Maybe playing the violin then is a form of music therapy. Interestinggg 🤔

But also, WHAAAAT. They said he's the only one who plays violin?! (sans Akine) 😱 No way, right? With that many students? 😂

Hmmm and the few lines of thoughts from other people kind of confused me.

So it seems like violin is not that common in middle schools in Japan. In this chapter, a classmate of Aono-kun said that the only one playing violin at this school is Aono.

Aono is the son of a world-class violinist and he and his mom haven't moved out of the house since the divorce. Famous musicians often live in big cities for obvious reasons. I assume Aono-kun lives in a big city. So it is strange to hear that there's only one kid in a middle school who plays violin.

In a later chapter, a high school orchestra member mentioned that most of the second-violin players are beginners, which means they've never played violin before joining the orchestra.

It seems like brass instruments are more common than violins, or even string instruments in general. I wonder what's the reason behind it. I went to primary school decades ago in a country that is still quite primitive in classical music, and there was a senior at my school playing the violin.

Occasionally, I hear about acquaintances with kids learning the violin. But I didn't know anything about brass instruments until I watched Hibike Euphonium.
