I still own my violin. It was the first instrument I picked up. Unfortunately I have long played violin, and honestly don't even really remember how to play anymore. It's quite sad, but I feel as though I've simply moved.

Try here: http://www.uyeainstruments.com/ - they do an acoustic violin for £30 (37€) ((plus postage))
What?

Nice! Love the shape. As far as the knobs go, one is volume and the other is what?

Yeah, violins are one of the cheapest instruments at the student level. You should be able to get one (with bow and case) for less than $150. It's too bad one can't find comparably cheap cellos (or even violas).

I'd really love to pick up violin again. It's a bit sad I gave up on it when i was a small child, but hey, would prolly never have found the guitar if I hadn't. My cousins play the violin... Though I think I could well enough pick it up without lessons... That's how the gypsies did it, right? Right?

Surely there are cheap violins! Check your local music store theres bound to be some in the 100$ range.

xD It would be brutal, but it would throw off the school spirit thing. The school colors are black and red man, sorry. Lol but in all seriousness, I love the red it looks even nicer in person.


You didn't get black and red for school colors. You just happened to like it.
 
Hence the part where I said "Lol but in all seriousness.." You just live to bust my chops dont you?


absolutely
just how like your pretty much bandless right now
:p teehee
 
Thats low, bring it up on the internet will you? Take your cheap shots out of my topic.
 
My apologies to anyone who actually wanted to read an intelligent thread.


Cheap Shot? You act like I said something messed up...
Idk, My BFF Steve.

I've played violin for about 5 years now. I have a $350 acoustic one got at the local music store. They also had an egg white electric violin for about $750. I never heard it but it's supposed to be really nice.
