      I've got to pick up a violin again. I think the problem with violin and really string instruments of that nature are that with instruments like a piano or even a guitar, if they are in tune the note will sound good, even if played by an inexperienced player, but with something like a violin, so much of whether it sounds good depends on technique, not the instrument itself. that's why whenever I hear most really young children who just started play, i sounds like a squeaky nightmare with maybe a hint of a clean sound in between each stroke. but even I can pluck a guitar string and make a pretty sound. so the longer I wait to pick it back up, the more fear I have that I'll never be able to do it how I did before.
