Whats more difficult learning A piano or a Violin?
Ive been playing the piano for about year and had greatly improve my fingering exercise, and learning more about different keys, i took class for it but i self taught myself the year after the class.
even though im trying to sell mastering the piano, How hard is to learn a violin and how does it works?
I play piano and find it easy, but expect that violin is harder, with all the extra work the left hand has to do on the strings. It would take lots of practice to get the fingers correctly positioned quickly to play exactly the pitch you want, instead of caterwauling with the pitch slightly out. At least, when you play the correct note on piano, you get the sound you expect.

Violin. You have to learn to hold the bow, and put your fingers on the right strings and move them according to the song you’re playing.

My instructor once told me violin is one of the hardest to learn and suggested I go with another instrument. I did take a few lessons and within a few of them I could play an easy song and it was recognizable… and I was learning to read music as well as how to play the first instrument I’d ever played.
I think you can do anything you put your mind to, and if you want to play the violin – go for it.

hi. i play both instruments. the violin is much harder and is the hardest instrument i play. (i play guitar too.) it is easy to produce simple tones on piano because of the keys, but violin requires skill and good intonation and it takes months to even make a few notes come out ok sounding. piano, all you gotta do is hit the keys. I also have to say, after playing for many years, violin is easier to play really fast runs on after years of experience, but on piano, the music can get more complex dealing with more than 4 note chords (the biggest chords one can play on a violin) and extensive counterpoint melodies. violin music is harder in general, especially as the notes get higher and higher, but piano music can almost get a little more intense, simply because it is easier to play. i personally prefer the violin.
on the violin, you have to deal much with bowing the strings, conserving how much bow you have remaining per bow, and other bowing things. the notes other than the open strings (not fingered, G,D,A,E) need to be depressed with a finger, shortening the string. This must be done perfectly in tune, even rolling the finger slightly can put the note out of tune, so you must have a good ear to learn to play the music in tune and become one with the instrument. this is especially difficult as the notes get very high and the intervals get smaller and smaller, and you have to worry even more about getting a decent tone at the same time.
overall, violin is the hardest instrument i’ve ever tried, but is also my main instrument, and with time and MUCH patience and practice is definitely worth it.

i play both, musician
I say, if you already know how to play the piano, or at least the basics of it, it will make playing the violin a lot easier than going from scratch. the clef is the same. you will have to re-adjust to the fingerings a bit though. it makes a difference how good you wish to become on the violin. just starting out you don’t have to worry as much about bow length, bowings, dynamics and those things, just on hitting the right notes. and already knowing the piano makes tuning, and understanding key signatures a lot easier. for me, as a musician, once i know the basics, remembering to watch the bowings and dynamics is easy for me, and i can add those things to my playing a lot easier. I say, learn to play it – who cares how good you get, its always good to be able to say "hey, i know how to do that!" every once in a while. and it will help you see if maybe you have a hidden talent for a different instrument.

I play both so here goes
Piano needs long fingers but to get a note you need to hit that key, if the piano is out of tune its not your fault.
Violin, the angle at which you put down your finger and alter the pitch a few cents. This for me and other advanced violinists is hearable and when you record hearable. None of us literally play perfect we self adjust extremly fast. Violin is way harder.
But I give pianist props, they read two lines i read one lol.
Alll classical instruments take time practice lessons and dedication. None of them are easier it just depends on how you are looking at it.
