Tonight’s question comes care of FoundingFatherDAR, thank you very much for the idea of the question!
I for one butchered the violin from the 5th grade until the 10th grade. The good thing about it, though, was thru the playing of the violin I met my best friend who is still my best friend….and who is now the lead Cellist in the Omaha Symphony Orchestra. He’s toured Europe … substituted in famous city orchestras...etc.
I however did not go on to such heights due to my playing. I gave it up when I realized I had next to no abilities.
How about you? Did you play an instrument as a child? What type? Do you still play?
Gives a good overview of the major types of instruments.
