Holy cow! There was a similar video of an opera singer singing, same logic.
I’m touched that she’s not afaict a professional violinist, she just loves it this much.

Holy cats.
Apparently it was the only way to be sure they didn't affect the fine motor control in her hands.
A few years ago, Eddie Adcock played banjo while undergoing brain surgery to correct a hand tremor.
I recall it being the source of some new banjo jokes.

Fortunately for her (and her surgeons’) sake, she didn’t play accordion, bagpipes, or xylophone.
