2.  You've got a hickey, but no lover 

 

3. You'll happily surrender a leg over an arm 

 

4.  You feel sad when you see an instrument with loose strings 

 

5. You die a little each time you see an actor pretending to play 

 

6.  Your dry cleaner constantly moans of rosin stains on your pants 

 

7. You ask for a spare G string without ever thinking twice 

 

8.  Your left hand's far more coordinated than your right – and you're right handed! 

 

9. You stop yourself air-bowing on the train 

 

10. You brush your teeth at night with a bow hold 

 

11. You play your dictation exams on your right arm like a fingerboard 

 

12.  You touch a hotplate and barely feel a thing 

 

13. Your left ear's slightly more deaf than your right 

 

14. You treat your instrument better than everything and everyone around you
