As used in my Poshmark shows! Funny novelty gift idea for friends and family that complain too much. Show your friends how much you actually care for their sorrows. Boohoo, send your friend your condolences with the world's smallest violin by playing a sad song. Press firmly and hold the button on the back of the violin to play a sad song, it will repeat if held. The music will stop if the button is released. Be sure to press harder than you expect to engage the button, otherwise the sound may loop prematurely.
