My Viola has problems...SERIOUS problems

I had to post something about my sick viola. It started to make funny noises about a week ago and it's only gotten worse. I'm sure most of you won't be able to identify with this but when your instrument isn't sounding and responding like it normally does then it's like having...like...having...your clothes on backwards all the time. Everything just doesn't feel right and you're very uncomfortable until you fix it.

I haven't really said anything cognitive here but I do feel better.

The beggining of the end of the story is that my viola is being fixed (loose seam) and I have a loaner until Tuesday. I'm looking forward to being reunited with it so that all can be right with the world again.
