played violin back in grade school and high school, just picking it back up. what i bought was this because i wanted one i could plug into my guitar amps and take with me on camping trips and not give a care. it took 5 mins to figure out it sounded like total crap. i immediately changed the bridge, soundpost, strings and for s&g's changed the pegs, with better quality equipment and bought a better bow... the sound quality is 1000x better and is actually extremely fun to play with and i almost don't want to take it outside lol, for under $250 bucks.
but yeah if you are learning, go rent one and take some classes and see if its right for you. i already know how to set one up from muscle memory, and if you are inexperienced then you will have a bad time just buying one off amazon out of the hole and trying to learn yourself without it being properly setup.
That is awesome you are still here and answering questions, thank you!
I was reading the discussion wondering about this as well. I am a self taught guitarist who learned from Youtube, not great but I can play a decent wonderwall. The violin seems like a whole different beast though in terms of starting from scratch.
I bought my girlfriend a violin at her request for Christmas (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GWULQ1O). She played Oboe for 13 years so she can read music, but we screwed around with it at Christmas and can tell its not going to be easy. Even for being electric, its quite loud in our quiet apartment so she ordered a "mute block" that should be arriving tomorrow.
Since she works 2 jobs and has very little free time, do you think she should hold off and get lessons when she can or would she be able to get a decent start on Youtube videos?
