Could just rent a violin if that's cheap enough, or eBay someone's 2nd hand fiddle

@Beemann that’s true. Some seem to be cheap and some expensive

There's a very large quality range that you won't notice until they're side by side, or until you get better
Unless you're dealing with a super shit one vs a really good one of course

Cheap is probably good for learning.

Not for concert.

Also the component parts get very specific and pricey. Bows and strings can go for over 100 ez

Not that you ever *need* to pay that

Rosin has been cheap though. 10ish bucks CAD

Just torrent everything for animus

Or just watch raw

_BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS BETTER RAW_

Just reeeeee'd the manga

You'll tear up that backlog

@Beemann that’s so true. That’s why I say cheap is good for learning. I don’t want to bust a 30 dollar string.

*and then add 30 more series to it because manga has way more variety than anime and finishes earlier*

I think I paid 20-30 for 4 strings

@Beemann cool. I may get a cheap one.

I try not to steal any form of medium i consume.

All filler episodes are the same.

Also may wanna invest in hearing protection and/or a mute

There's specialized earplugs that don't fuck with pitch, and mutes will just make your shit quieter

There are mutes for violins?

Yes, they go over the bridge

They're loud as fuck and right next to your head, so noise management is always good

I didn’t know that. I have a mute for my trombone. I don’t like to use it because it feels weird playing with it.

I like the mute for my violin because I can pick out the notes a little easier

Ok.

And I always feel self conscious about blasting shit

I live in my own house. I doubt my neighbors can hear anything. I don’t have to be self conscious in an apartment anymore.

Naisu

Happy Thanksgiving all

> neighbors giving a fuck about blasting anything

Unfortunately when you live next to retards who still think they’re in third world shitholes

This isn’t a problem

Wew

You blast shit about as hard as they do

Who has the best car sound systems etc

@Shire! happy thanksgiving !

But yeah, as long as you have the time and cash for it, would definitely recommend just pursuing one or two hobbies you've always wanted to try out

Might as well

@Shire! happy thanksgiving mate
