Crazy fool that I am. There are so many easier instruments to learn!
However, the violin has a few things going for it:
1. It's quite portable,
2. It's quite versatile, and
3. Heck, it just sounds good!
Anyway, I'd asked ahead of time how long it woudl take to establish a firm foundation. Most of those I'd asked were suggesting around 300 to 600 hours! Not what I wanted to hear but in the end, I had to go for it. Starting lessons in two weeks.
And to think I don't even know how to hold the thing and have forgotten how to read musical notes, it'll be an uphill climb all right. i just hope the 600 hour estimate was generous.
