I'd say right now, as a beginner, the quality of the instrument doesn't matter much. Just choose your budget and go for it. If you find you love playing and want to invest time and money into it, a quality violin is as individual as a person and sounds very different when played by different people. I would wait a couple of years before investing in a good quailty violin. <BR/><BR/>When I was a kid taking private lessons, we had recitals twice a year, and the students who seemed to have the most fun were the handful of adult beginners. Violin is a difficult instrument to master--some say the most difficult--but it will challenge you in totally unique ways, and make you smarter in the process. It's totally worth it. Have fun!Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15921409535089655387noreply@blogger.com
