Just before today’s Competition Winners’ Concert, violinist Anaïs Gilson found out that her violin had to be sent for repair after the seams opened.
A replacement violin solved one problem—but introduced another. The E string kept whistling.
Fortunately, one simple string change was all it took. ❤️
Wishing Anaïs the very best of luck at tonight’s concert! 🎶✨
