The Devil's instrument indeed! Confessions of an S & M freak (Elke Hartmann) and 'witch hunting made easy' - also known as the Malleus Maleficarum (Franz Josef Csencsits):
"It started to get serious a few years ago. First the normal things - safety pins through the nose and cheeks - but it wasn't enough for me. That's why I got into using clamps and putting hooks through my lips - and then finally I got into the thing with violins... it was technically hard to do. I used very long thin nails."
