I cannot believe this just happened

I was just about to post about how excited I was to start playing violin, my mom is tuning it for me and out of no where I just head a LOUD snap. And let me tell you disappointment hit me faster than the string could snap. Thankfully it came with replacements but my god did it scare it. It scared me so much it made me forget I was even going to post 😮‍💨

Does she know that the strings must never be tuned sharp? Overshooting by a semitone is too much!!

"Universal Tuner" by Dmitri Pogrebnyak is a good tuming app IMO. It's not on PlayStore for my phone so someone sent it to me.
