Hi all,

There is no real general question here at all, just an expression of feeling, so this may not even be the correct forum. For a VERY VERY long time I've had a longing to learn stringed instruments(typ violin). Right now I'm sitting at my desk listening to my favourite pieces music at I get that smile on my face and go all goose bumpy just listening to all the strings being played.

It's like I cant get home quick enough at the end of the day to pick my violin, I cant practice enough because my fingers wont let me. Picking up the violin I really REALLY just don't want to put it down again, cant get enough.

Does anyone else feel like this sometime/all the time. .

LiBiTiNa

I know what you mean! I often play until my fingers hurt and won't play right. Hopefully they will begin to get used to it so I can play longer! I'm obessed with listing to my favorite music. If I'm not spending time with my daughter or husband I am on the forums, reading about violin or practicing or listining to music! I think it's a good thing, it incourages you to want to really work at it and you'll go far.

I love my violin so much, as though she were a person (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) But violins do have their own personalities and such whereas my flute and stuff didn't...

I often (whilst practicing) say to myself: ok, this is the LAST TIME I am going over this piece then 'I'll pack up for the day'

HALF AN HOUR LATER I've played the piece another 10 times and started playing something else (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

BUT I do occasionally feel tired (I have an extremely busy life) and think: ok, today I will give practicing a miss, I am just TOO TIRED (but this is only occasionally) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I know I'm crazy but I actually speak to it as if it were a person 'please don't squeek like that it hurts my ears' or 'why do you have to be horribly out of tune everytime I get you out of the case?' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I don't really talk to her... but i talk ABOUT her like a person and treat her like a person (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I invested in a £400 case and silk pyjamas and a £50 maple shoulder rest for her, etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) She deserves the best (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Sometimes my friends will ask if they can have a go on her/look at her and i'm like 'well i'm not sure cause she's very shy and doesn't like strangers...' etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) they're like ummm okayyyy
What is your violin's name? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My violin is a boy and his name is Figaro, my double bass is also a boy and his name is Gandalf (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
But I think in terms of 'crazyness' you go beyond me Ffliwt, as I don't talk about my violin as if it's a person, nor I speak to it (erm Terra LOL) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
