One of the local professors here where I live (Dr. Luis Casal a famous violinist from Panama) once told us during a master class that its important to give your instrument a name, in order for you to bond with it more.
I named my violin Yue, meaning moon in chinese, because my violin is from china (A Yuan Qin)
So now im curious to know what you named your violin (or anyother instrument for that matter)
If you would name it what would you call it? And if you have already what it's name?
lol, they could of said pablo, manuel, san jose, jose, Sustaita, juan, gerado, filipe, enrique, palo, arbol, del bosque, and so many more. but burrito is funny too. taco would of been better in my opinion
yes taco! they were only eight though, and probably don't know the names, just the food-which is rather nice.
i don't know of many people who name their instruments
I named my violin Lynette or "Lyney" for short. I tried to think of other names but nothing came to mind......do you know anybody who can e-mail me the notes to all the songs from the phantom of the opera?

and i also have a guitar i got from mexico. her name is Roxana.
I have an accoustic guitar (i STILL don't know how to properly play it) that I named Pico'. He's totally "Hecho en Mexico"
my violion I have now is a FRANZ MEÜLLER but I don't know if its a boy or a girl yet... well either way it'll be a german name. so if its a girl- Verena (i had a penpal in germany by that name) or if its a boy- Jorma [yo-muh](theres a foreign exchange student here this year by that name and he's amazing)
but then... I'm in the school mariachi band... so maybe it should have a mexican name???
I got a violin for christmas from my grandma and my mom and
I named it Gurtrued. (a.k.a gurty) I usually just say my violin when I
talk about it though. If I do talk about it sometimes though I just
say Gurty cause I like that better.

Wow, what wonderful names. a friend of mine has a cello he calls grandpa because its ancient and has a few cracks in it. Dr. Luis Casal called his violin Isabella.
I didnt even think about naming my bow...... I guess I have to think about it a bit more lol
