Cracked under pressure...

Shot for the daily challenge topic of "stressed". This is one of Kara's teaching violins. The bridge is not actually anchored to the instrument in any way. It's held in place by the pressure of the tightened strings. If it's not properly alligned, it can warp or even break. This bridge has been retired. It's worthless now with that piece missing. But I thought it made a nice picture. Still lovin' that macro. Using it quite a bit too!
