The What Musical Instrument Are You (in bed) Test?
The Violin
You were invented in Europe, sometime in the early 1500s, based on string and bow instruments brought back from the Middle East and India. You are as iconic as the Piano. World class musicians use you to astound audiences with hard to believe acoustic feats while millions of children world wide saw out off key attempts at Twinkle Twinkle Little Star over and over and over. . .
I'm NO good at bowed instruments, but I have tried to play Violins a time or two. My sister-in-law is REALLY good at it and we occasionally bust out some awesome guitar/fiddle action (maybe that is some kind of instrument slash fiction, now that you mention).
As a lover, you're probably high strung and a perfectionist, but not in a bad way. Stay away from lovers who don't know what they're doing. They won't be able to keep up with you. A Lover good enough to push the limits of what you're capable of will take you to places that will blow your mind. Their bow strokes better agree with you though, or you'll get bored.
