Violin, Viola & Cello Player Hats

String players have some well-documented traditions. Rosin gets everywhere, a violinist's closet runs to black, white and black, and the neck mark from the chin rest gets mistaken for a hickey in the Odyssey's list of tell-tale signs. Violists read alto clef, which essentially no other orchestral instrument uses. Cellists buy a second ticket for the instrument: EasyJet's policy says to book the extra seat under the name MR SEAT CELLO, and in 2012 Delta cancelled cellist Lynn Harrell's SkyMiles after he ticketed his cello as Cello Harrell. Violin Is Not What I Play It's Who I Am already sells as a TeePublic hat design, and it earns a second colorway here, along with the cello window-seat line. These hats are for the adult player: community orchestras, quartets, Suzuki kids grown up and wedding-gig players. The fiddle belongs to the bluegrass page and orchestra-kid nostalgia to Band Geek Hats, so neither is repeated here, and the viola joke is nowhere in the set. Three plain badges, VIOLINIST, VIOLIST and CELLIST, anchor the searches, and the originals are the instrument tribe's own jokes: no frets, no rest, rehearsal and the extra seat. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for your own stand, or give it to the string player in your life.
