Hi guys

Anyone here left handed and playing the violin?

Is it easy to familiarize by playing with the normal ones?

Or there are special violins for left handed people? Is it more expensive?

Does right-handed instructor could teach the left-handed pupil without any difference with the right-handed pupil?

If I were to start learning how to play violin, is there any school/instructor that teach adult newbies?

I'm interested to learn violin, but I'm left handed, and old (24)

lolz...i dont think it makes any difference if you are left or right handed,its just the matter of the relocation of the violins shoulder rest
i dont think age is a prob...just learn it if you have passion for the instrument...passion/love for the instrument is more important than age

Really? I tried to play my friend's guitar, and ended up my right hand can't pluck the strings. Something is wrong with my brain coordination I guess

But are there such things as violin for left-handed?

guitar yes...violin? havent seen one...i dont think there is....but i dont think violin need to be a left handed one...change the strings location should help?tried it before?

There is no left hand violins. All the left-handed violinist I know, they all play the usual right handed position.

lolz...this is enlightening...but wouldnt left handed ppl face difficulties in controling the bow?

I never even see real violin in front of my eyes before. Kesian

Icic, so it should be no problem with me then

I'm interested in learning violin coz I loooooovveeeee the sound it could make. Been wanting to learn since school, but my parents were really against music classes, I have to wait until I start working and have my own money, so they can't object too much I guess coz I won't be spending their money

I have no experience with it. Mozart is left-handed and he plays the violin right-handed.

Coincidence???

Haha except for the age part..
I told my mum that I wanted to use my salary to pay off the fees but now she insisted she doesn't mind paying for me.

But if you practice long enough, right or left handed, shouldn't be a problem, should it??
If you change the placement of the chin rest, won't it become a lefty's violin?

Seriously, I have never see a left hand violin before. No one tweak anything on the violin like changing the chin and shoulder rest.

aaaaaaaa ya ya I'm in the midst of thinking whether I should go to school or get personal instructor

true practice makes perfect. But since I'm lefty, I just want to know how hard is it for me to play violin, who knows

actually...there are some reviews saying that you could do that...the chin rest part

lolz...mozart!!!thx for the info...man,history is important...

lolz...there is alot of shops selling violin,hey paramore,maybe we should like make a gathering of everyone in this forum eh?
