For a starter instrument of good quality, I would recommend shopping on south west strings! As for playing? Well I suggest getting a private teacher, its better to learn from someone with experience then to read books about it (like Violin For Dummies) For starter books to work on with your teacher, try the Essential Elements books, and the suzuki book series which you can find on sheet music sites www.southweststrings.com www.sheetmusicplus.com Good luck with your violin!<br><b>References : </b><br>a violist and a violinist Hello!

If you decide to get serious and want to buy your own one go to swstrings.com and look at their violins I have been buying from them for a while and I have never been disappointed with their service. Try to get a Strunal violin they are a student violin they are inexpensive but they are very good quality, If you can afford a higher end violin try to look at some Hans Kroger violins look at the Bavarian Violin line of instruments. For beginner strings I would use either Red Label Super Sensitive or D'Addario Prelude Violin Strings. also you would need to look into sizes violins come in 1/2 to 4/4, 4/4 being the largest 3/4 is a tad bit smaller. for rosin use dark rosin. hope this helps. oh and never buy a violin from craigslist..<br><b>References : </b><br>been playing violin for about 10 years What I would do first is if you have a music store one that sells used and new instruments some usually do rentals rent one out and see how you like it.
