Violins?

[PowerTurtle]

Does anyone play violin? If so, what do you like to play?
I'm playing Concertino in G Major by Adolf Huber.

I hate to bear bad news, but I think that violins are no longer popular in public performances. Same with saxophones.

In fact, just yesterday I heard a whole bunch of people talking about how there's too much sax and violins on television and in the movies these days :D

Two violins in my house and I can only play nursery-rhymes on either of them. Well, maybe Morning Has Broken, too...

I love fiddle-playing and go to see lots of Irish/Folk players. When I've got somewhere with the guitar (current project), will be looking at folk music including the violin and penny-whistles (I have 5 of those and can't play a thing).

Never liked sax.

I took violin lessons as a child. But, as was mentioned, the guitar replaced the violin.

I was bundled off to music school on Saturday mornings, I don't think my parents could handle the noise. Started on the guitar aged about 13 or 14 and only then did they understand what 'real noise' is!
