Ashley E asked:


My boyfriend used to play the violin, and would love nothing more than to learn to play again. I want to buy him one for Christmas, but I know absolutely nothing about violins, or any musical instruments at all. I’d like to know what sort of violin would be good for him in this situation, and what accessories he’ll need. Thanks so much!

Steven M asked:


I wanted to find out how much set of violin strings cost. I want something for average tempoed (is that a word?) music. Also, how much does rosin cost? And can a bow be restringed (or do I buy a new one, I am attached to the one I have)? How much is a tuner [not a pitch pipe]. I have kind of lost track with these things. I haven’t played in 3 years.

LISA asked:


My 10 year old daughter has expressed an interest in learning the violin, but I know nothing about the violin. Can someone suggest a brand, size, or anything else that I should be looking for when purchasing the instrument? What is a good price to pay for a beginner’s violin? And what accessories will I need to purchase for her?
