violin

An instrument that can sound beautiful WHEN PLAYED RIGHT. However, most of the time it isn't.

My definition of the way a bad violin sounds: "Horse hairs rasping against the entrails of a cat!"

violin

The most difficult instrument to master (not play, but master), with challenging left-right hand coordination. It has a pleasent sound with four strings tuned in fifths. Violinists are generally smart people or slackers like Charlie.

Charlie is the assistant concertmaster for his school orchestra and has only being playing for five years.
Charlie is so fucking good at the violin. Did you hear him play Symphonie Espagnole flawlessly?
Lumi is a better violinist than Charlie will ever be.

violin

Anyone who plays it has a heart like the sounds of the violin itself.

violin

The hightest instrument in the string section.

i am a violinist and a violist and i think it is unfair to comment on an instrument without playing it. The violin has a beautiful high range and the viola has a melodious low range. They both sound beautiful when played properly and the player must be dedicated and put much time into their playing. (people who do not play an instrument would not understand this concept!)

The violin section played a section of fast, high notes

violin

One of the most beautiful and expressive instruments in the world of music. It can range from playful and cheeky to sorrowful and breathtaking. It imitates the human voice with its own unique sound. Yes, it takes a while to learn how to play properly - just like any other instrument. And personally, I don't think it sounds like a dying cat at all. Dunno where people get that from...

I own a Tartini violin and it kicks arse.
