      Unfortunately, tardigrades love the bass and cello and hate violins so the only way to get a photo of one playing the violin would be to fake it somehow

        The bow is also on the wrong side of the bridge. Though now that I think of it, that might produce an even higher sound like you would expect of a microscopic violin?

          He’s not even holding the bow at the frog. I’m beginning to question if he even knows how to play the violin.

            Look, he’s trying, ok? He only started learning last week and it’s an instrument made for a completely different physiology!

              With all the legs and fingery things, I feel like tardigrades would probably be better at playing the world’s smallest clarinet.

                I think he’d do a superb job with @FlyingSquid’s trombone, too.

                I mean, just look at him.

            If you’re such a critic, you try teaching a tardigrade how to play a stringed instrument then.

      I tried zooming in on the headstock to see which direction the tuners point, but the image is all fucky.

      On the shoulders alone, I’d say it’s probably a cello although there are basses with round shoulders.

      Unless of course it’s made for a tardigrade which, like Donald Trump Jr, doesn’t have a chin to make a chin rest at all useful.
