1. Love the violin. Great in classical music, but also, check out Stephane
Grappelli, first jazz violinist.
2. Pick one out, and practice. That's really all it takes. More practice =
more profficiency. I find keyboards easier 'cause they're linear, but a
guitar is easier to carry with you to the park, and less succeptible to heat
and humidity. Unless it's good quality, in which case you should leave India
prior to purchasing it.
