@Me:

Me: *countenance softened* "Wow- that was rather... unexpected...'

Canada: *sniff* "I-it's okay... it's just, if I cant play a violin, then what can I play?"

Washington: "I- I don't know...?"

Canada was about to cry again when I decided to step in.

Me: *looking at Washington and points at the bathroom door* "May I?"

Washington: "Sure...?"

Me: *knocks on the door* "Canada?"

Canada: *sniff* "W-what?"

Me: "Just because you can't play a violin doesn't mean you aren't able to play an instrument. There is still a whole world out there to be explored."

Canada: "Like what?"

Me: "Well, there is always the piano, for starters."

Canada: *snort*

Me: "Or, if that doesn't suit you, there are also the winds (piccolo, flutes, oboes, cor anglais, bassoons), brass (trumpet, trombone, tuba, horns), the other keyboards (harmonium, organ, celeste, harpsichord, etc.), or the percussion."

Canada: "Percussion?"

Me: "Oh, there are lots. Like the timpani (a.k.a. kettle drums), malleted percussion (glockenspiel, xylophone, vibraphone, marimba), bells, crotales, etc. And don't get me started on the untuned percussion, there is, quite literally, a lot I can list. So, what do you say?"

@Floofy2: *stops crying for a moment* "Really?"
