Good day!

Well, I'm a person that knows nuts about violins, but I want to learn how to play it. It's a cool instrument in my perspective. My preference had a tug-o-war between each other whether to choose the violin or guitar. I've decided to choose the violin after a lot of decision making.

So I live somewhere in KL and I would like to know any good violin shops around it. My budget is about RM500. If anyone could provide information, thanks!

And on the behalf of somebody, where can I find a Yamaha SV-200/ SV-150 in KL? Thanks again!

Just got my violin today! Feeling quite happy about it! Now all I need to do is wait for the end of the year when I have the free time to go to a teacher...

Meanwhile, are there any videos on the Internet that can help me occupied (and contain my anxiety) while waiting for the end of the year?

Well it costed RM240 and I got it from a shop called Wagner Piano at Jalan Imbi. It was cheaper than Euromusic's cheapest product by like, RM80 I think.

The sound? Haha, sorry but I'm pretty tone-deaf when it comes to violin sounds, whether it sounds good or bad. I can't really judge since I'm a sucky player but all I can tell is that it's pretty loud and vibrant. There's still one more of this type of violin at Wagner Piano, the violin is made by some guy named J.S. Basch IIRC.

Hello people.

May I ask if playing a violin and cello are different? Besides the position and stuff of course, are everything else the same?

And may I ask what's a good electric violin for a beginner?

Thanks in advance.

@Karenalvin: I see, so that's the difference huh? I wonder is it easier to do vibrato on violin or cello?

And nah, I'm just thinkin' of an electric violin to get in hopes that the sound produced can be plugged in a computer, so that I don't disturb people if I play it or something.

So got any good and cheap electric violins to introduce?
