Why is it important to have proper posture when playing a violin?
It is VERY important. If you slouch while playing, your back will hurt and later in your life it, it'll become a very serious issue. Also, it doesn't help your sound. You actually sound louder with better posture because your violin can project easier and the bow will naturally gravitate towards the bridge.

RW: You play the violin so beautifully in this film. As far as I know, you are not a violinist. How did this role come to you?
ML: The director chose me. I met him three times to speak about the script. He chose someone else who could not play the violin. The role was a big challenge involving much training. She dropped out. My performance is fake except for the right hand. The left hand is a special effect. It's a lot of work to learn fake movements.

A condom comes rolled up in a package. Just place it on the tip of your erect penis and unroll it. It is important to put it on the right side up otherwise it won't unroll. If it helps you can unroll it one or two rotations before you put it on your penis and this will help you see which way is up.
When you put on the condom be sure to use one hand to pinch the tip and use the other hand to unroll it. This allows for a space at the end of the condom to be empty allowing space for the ejaculate.
What violins are made in Europe?
I cannot give you a list of specific makes, but one of mine (the one I use the most) is made in Germany by a company called Heinrich Gill. It is an excellent violin and it is very rich on the lower strings, and generally rich throughout. I believe (I don't have it with me currently to verify) that it is a no. 66. All of their violins are made from aged wood by hand.
