I use to play the violin as a kid. Use to drive e my folks crazy. Hours a week of me sounding like finger nails along a chalkboard I’m sure. During the winter times the strings would break often because they were kept in a colder room at the school. So it was not a very cheap thing to be involved in either.
I miss it dearly. Sometimes when I’m listening to a heavy string instrument song my fingers still move as if I was trying play something. All the fun and interesting sounds people are able to produce these days. One day I would love to get into it again and play rock along with other styles of music on a violin having the right equipment to do so.
