Musician’s boyfriend in trouble for broken violin bow. YTA, replace it.

YTA: Take responsibility for the expensive instrument you destroyed.

Commenter criticizes OP for irresponsible behavior and insults his intelligence. Fellow musician defends OP’s comment about learning music. Another commenter shares personal experience with expensive violins and cellos. Someone lists other instances of bad behavior from different people.

“YTA. Violinist’s instrument is *SACRED*. You f**ked up. You pay.”

“YTA. You handed an expensive piece of equipment that was not yours to a child, who you then left unsupervised, resulting in the ruin of that expensive thing THAT DOESN’T BELONG TO YOU. You’re damn right you’re on the hook for this because it was your choice to tamper with someone else’s stuff, and your negligence that led to its ruin. If your sister wants to kick in because it’s her kid, well, that’s fair too, but your sister wasn’t the one who created this whole avoidable mess.”
