Hi all,

Starting out, in late 50s.  Hoping to play a mix of classical and fiddling. I have very lite history with music, just starter class back in the day, piano and guitar. You will see me post about buying a violin.  

Step by step ... will post more as I work on my instrument and learn it.

Welcome to the forum, mavenm from Virginia! I think you will enjoy learning the violin. There are many people here with a lot of experience, and experience with being "late" learners. 

If anyone can help, mavenm has asked about a Knilling and Stentor violin here:

Comparing Two Used Violins - could use an opinion

I  case the link does not work, it is in the Instruments and Equipment/The Violin room.
