and it would be heavy as fuck. if you held it by the neck it would probably bend. and you couldn't tension the strings.

Was... was that the Fiddle the devil used in the competition? Cuz if so, no fucking wonder he lost.
If you rest it on your shoulder and are gentle when tensioning the strings, it can probably work, but don't go too aggressive on the strings or they'll probably snap (if gold) or bend the tensioners.

Very... gently...
