His lack of technique made for a sound that was grating to the ears. His interest in it wasn’t strong enough to feel encouraged to get better, not like it had been with the violin.
“Even Blaze asks me to stop whenever she hears it. But that’s okay ‘cause I have my wooden thing that makes pretty sounds.” His hands came to rest behind his back. “The people from my world just aren’t very nice. But it’s okay, they’re just scared. It’ll be better when everything is fixed.”

“A wooden instrument? With strings and a chin rest?”
