35 years ago or so I played the cello. At the moment I'm looking to get myself an electric violin, not expensive one but there are some pretty cheap ones available and just to mess around a but like. Anyway, have a good time.
Hi Ray, ja - you can get very decent electric violins for very decent prices, and at local shops (in CT, atleast). I'd buy an electric cello in a shot if they weren't so damn expensive (in SA that is. Everyone has to import them which ramps up the price, sadly). I've tried to play my boyfriend's electric guitar, but my brain & hands were completely baffled by strings tuned in 4ths and the concept of picking - who would've thought?! (I find the bass much easier - maybe its a clef thing?) Enjoy your fiddle when you get it ?
