It's just SO amazing and rewarding to finally get some things right after practicing so much.

I am still such a beginner, only two weeks in... But been working a lot on my bowing, finger placement, posture , hands... the sound is finally clean!!

When I play now it actually sounds pleasant to hear!! My intonation definitely still needs work, and speed for sure. But I just can't believe I can actually play a violin.

What a beautiful piece, music aside.. It's just beautiful to look at.

I want to hear about you guys' experience. What are your favourite songs to play? Any tip & trick that made a huge difference?

When did you realize you love playing the violin?!

I'm looking to upgrade my 5600X, and wonder which one should I buy?

Hey there... I picked this up like a week ago and I'm absolutely obsessed.

I bought the online course from Violinspiration. I'm loving it. It allows me to learn on my own time, given that work has me so busy lately. I couldn't really make the time to visit an in-person instructor during the day. And Julia is amazing!

I liiike to think I'm making good progress 😃 but also... I would love for an experienced violinist's input.

For me... the hardest things right now are being:

Bow hold: I have been replicating the hold to the letter, and try my keep it that way... But I find myself gripping the bow too hard, otherwise it kinda just "slips" out while I'm playing.

Left hand positioning: I am struggling with not touching the other strings when playing. I have filed my nails to their last mm 😞 and have tried to angle my hand towards the "inside" as best as I can without it hurting my wrist. But my fingers are not exactly small, sadly...

Also my left index finger is hurting like really really bad... is that normal? It's not swollen or anything but it feels like "numb".

Here is picture of my string pressing problem... 3rd finger's \"tummy\" touches the string below.. or if I try to point it upwards then it's the nail with the string above.

Thank you so much if you got this far ❤️ I would really appreciate advice, tips, mentoring or anything of that sort. Even your own learning story!!

Son marca PNY XLR8... Pasaron el memtest86 sin errores y todo. Osea estan muy bien estado, con 3 años de uso cotidiano. Nunca fueron overclockeadas ni nada raro.

Que opinan? Cuanto pagarían por algo así?
