The side wall of my violin under the chinrest has warped and pulled away from the top, I guess due to heat and moisture. Fixable?

I work on SoCs for broadband communications (DSL/GPON) as well as home routers.

I do "systems engineering" which is is either testing out brand new hardware blocks to make sure they work (both in pre-silicon RTL sim and after the chip comes back) or analyzing how well the various chip subsystems interact so we can optimize both the software and hardware.

My moonlight job is as a DJ for local salsa/latin events but also sometimes large international ones. :)

I'm a resident physician at a university hospital working my ass off (officially 80 hours, but unofficially 100+ hours a week) in the department of internal medicine, currently hemato-oncology. Apparently labor laws are very leniently enforced when each doctor has to look after around 30-40 "life-or-death" patients admitted in the ward. Doesn't have much time for high-end audio stuff right now as I only get one day off per week, but hoping this career pays off someday. Surprisingly, a lot of colleague and senior doctors are into hifi audio hobby.
