Ten-year-old Isabella Nicola Cabrera, left, gets instruction from music Professor Elizabeth Adams, right, as she plays her violin with her new prosthetic at the engineering department of George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., April 20, 2017. Fifth-grader Isabella Nicola wanted to play the violin, but she was born with no left hand and a severely abbreviated forearm. Her music teacher at Island Creek Elementary in Fairfax County had built her a prosthetic allowing her to move the bow with her left arm and finger the strings with her right — the opposite of how violin is usually taught. But the prosthetic was heavy and he thought there might be a better option. He reached out to Mason, his alma mater. A group of five students designed a new prosthetic for Isabel to play the violin using a 3D printer. (Photo/Agencies)
