Hi!
I've been reading on this forum for a while and like the way that people here help each other so I thought of joining you.
I`m 20 years old and from Germany, Black Forest.
I've played the piano for about 10 years now and the pipe organ for 2 years. I accompanied a violinist on weddings for a couple of times and fell in love with this instrument 
So I've started playing the violin in July with the help of youtube videos like fiddlerman's or professorV's with this cheap instrument: http://www.thomann.de/de/thoma.....set_44.htm After changing the strings to Pirastro Tonicas I like it a lot.
Here are two mp3s of my playing recorded with my phone. I don't know if that's the right place for that but here we go:
No.1: An Irish Song "Down by the Sally Gardens" here is a youtube version so you hear what it's supposed to sound like:
No.2: "Unravel" by Björk. I made a very simple backing track and tried to play with it
I'm not happy with neither of them but I hope to improve. Btw I'm also sorry for odd grammar mistakes. I am sure they happened/will happen

Hello and welcome to the forum.
I am multitasking now so I can't view the videos.
It is good to have you. Take a look around and post a lot ( that is how we get to know each other).
Best of playing to you.

Welcome, @Nachtschall ! That's cool that you play the pipe organ. And I am very impressed at your violin playing after only a couple of months. Your intonation is very good and I think I heard some vibrato. Very nice!
When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low,
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow.

Welcomen. Your playing sounds very good.

Thanks to all of you for the nice welcome. That's very motivating.
And yes, I worked a little on vibrato but can only do it on first and second finger. I will give it some time and focus on other things first, probably Suzuki II, because I think the vibrato movement doesn't really come from my wrist/arm at the moment.
