Run away! Run away!
I just couldn't resist when seeing it barely used for a good price:
"Viola da Gamba" is by definition a fiddle that is played between the legs, so yes and no, it can be played between the legs like a small viol or hanging on the neck/shoulder with a strap under the finger board which I prefer since you can play it standing this way too and it gives more options to play it on the knees giving you a bit more space for the bow than between the legs.

Nice stats for your results too
Why is "it's my main way of transportation and I drive to work with it every day" never even considered?Does anyone here ride bikes? Whether as a hobby or just as an enthusiast, even racing?

At the next train station here (which is near several apartment blocks and a school), sometimes a truck comes at night and takes all bikes that are chained somewhere near the station.Yeah, making a bike look unattractive is pretty much the only defence against theft to order (as it's known) where thieves equipped with angle grinder and van can take not only the bike but the thing it's locked to. Locking up your wheels and securing your seatpost discourages the opportunist thief who'll take what they can to sell on, and perhaps get a rise out of you.
Ah... here in Amsterdam the municipality does that too. You see, if you park on unauthorized spots (because the authorized spots are occupied) it is dangerous for other people (obstructs too much, dangerous to blind people, etc).sometimes a truck comes at night and takes all bikes that are chained somewhere near the station
It's an official parking spot for a few dozen bicycles, those are simply organized thiefs and there was an official warning about those by now somewhere.Ah... here in Amsterdam the municipality does that too.

Of course, we also have the black van that comes at night and sweeps any bike that is easy to lift. And we have the junkie that sells a wheel, or luggage spanner... for cheap.
Current price of a luggage spanner (Bike Store): 8 euro the black rubber one. 12 euro the white rubber with braided coloured cotton thread.
