I finally have a job, and I was hoping to save up and buy a violin. I've never played one, and know nothing about 'em, I'd just really like to learn, as I love the sound of the instrument. So I need to know a few thing from you TB violinists. For example:
- What do I need besides the violin, bow, rosin, and case to get me started?
- What are some respectable manufacturers? (Ex: Who is the Fodera of violins? Who is the Squier?
- About how much is a mid level violin (with every necessary accessory) gonna run me?
- Is it possible to be self-taught? (That's my working plan)
- What are some really basic tips/practices you could lend a begginer?
Anything else I should know? Feel free to share your experiences, or if you're like me, ask more questions!
Thanks,
Graeme
