Fiddlerman,
Thanks so much for putting together this website with all the extensive resources you have providing for your followers to better learn how to play the violin. I have spent too many years in regret for not taking the time necessary in order to learn how to play this instrument. Thankfully, that will all change as I take my first "real" lesson this Friday evening.
As someone who spent multiple combat tours during the war in Iraq, I have found few things in life that are able to help me feel at peace as does the calming sounds of the violin. Sadly enough, it took too many years for me to understand how much healing value is held within music.
Again, I appreciate all the information you have provided as they will remain invaluable tools in my learning progression. I also wanted to thank you for the video analysis of some of the Cecilio violins as their cost is much more in line with my budget.
With Gratitude,
Mark

Agreed. Semper Fi.

I have to add my gratitude for your service to our country, too.

I appreciate the support everyone though I hope you all know I don't mention my military background as a way to pad my own ego. To be honest, making a resounding determination to start lessons was the first moment in a new life that isn't focused upon what "should" have been done but puts the focus on what "can" be done. There is an amazing sense of freedom that comes with doing something because you know in your heart it's the right thing to do even if it makes no logical sense to the rest of the world.
