Now I have a serious problem and need your help too!

If cutting a tense guitar string is that dangerous - don't the strings sometimes break on their own in the middle of a hard-strumming song? Do people get hurt that way?

And is it the same for fiddle strings? If they snapped during play and swung wild, you could lose an eye, couldn't you?

Is there a word for phobia of your instruments?

This is a serious question - I don't want to feel like I'm strumming/bowing a time bomb.
