April 13, 20188 yr I’m thinking about signing up for violin class. My online girlfriend loves classical music and always wanted to date a musician so, I was thinking of learning the violin before we meet up for the first time in an upcoming international dating social event in a couple of months. I’ve already researched a few good music schools or local instructors who are willing to come over to my place for the lessons but the only problem is, I don’t know squat about buying a violin myself. I could always ask the clerks at the music shop but I’m afraid they might sales-talk to me on getting the expensive but fragile one. I want something I can use and can withstand my noob playing for a few months and not break on me. Nothing grand but nothing too local is what I’m looking for. Musicians out here, please help me out.
April 13, 20188 yr @JackBlank Violin is a difficult instrument. You should learn something easy like Piano or Guitar. If you want to learn to play something that sounds impressive in a few months, you should take an instrument without many options. On the Piano you can just press a few keys and it'll sound amazing, and you don't have to take care of the way you hold it, the bow's direction, the quality of the sound and al the other things you'll have to do on a string instrument. If you're worried that you won't have a Piano in your meeting place... learn how to play the Guitar, it's an easy instrument as well and you can carry it around. Yes, you can learn how to play a classical tune on a Guitar.
