This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.
It's actually quite small.
I see what you did there
I had to use a microscope to see it, but I also saw what was done there
The greatness/size ratio is off the charts!
It's bigger than my dick.
That looks to be a cello or bass.... Violins would have a chin rest.
Unfortunately, tardigrades love the bass and cello and hate violins so the only way to get a photo of one playing the violin would be to fake it somehow
The bow is also on the wrong side of the bridge. Though now that I think of it, that might produce an even higher sound like you would expect of a microscopic violin?
He’s not even holding the bow at the frog. I’m beginning to question if he even knows how to play the violin.
Look, he's trying, ok? He only started learning last week and it's an instrument made for a completely different physiology!
With all the legs and fingery things, I feel like tardigrades would probably be better at playing the world's smallest clarinet.
I think he'd do a superb job with @FlyingSquid's trombone, too.
I mean, just look at him.
If you're such a critic, you try teaching a tardigrade how to play a stringed instrument then.
I'd like to subscribe to your tardigrade facts newsletter, please.
That’s for a human grade violin. This is tardi grade.
I tried zooming in on the headstock to see which direction the tuners point, but the image is all fucky.
On the shoulders alone, I'd say it's probably a cello although there are basses with round shoulders.
does he not look well rested to you
Unless of course it's made for a tardigrade which, like Donald Trump Jr, doesn't have a chin to make a chin rest at all useful.
Wow, that must be a really, really tiny violin. Where can you even get that?!
Minuscule Music and More. It's on the miracle mile right next to Kohls.
I got mine at Instruments by the Nanometer in Copenhagen!
The one in Nørrebro or Valby?
The new one by Ørstedsparken
Well there's clearly a tardigrade conspiracy here that you're trying to cover up.
A real Grade T conspiracy
