I bought a violin

I have been told it is difficult to play. I needed a new challenge.
I read a few books and decided to give it a shot.
Maybe it will help with the dementia.
It will be here in a few days.

The dementia?

Strad or Guarneri?

good luck. Even with dedicated practice, mastering the violin can take up to several weeks.

Yes, it is not an easy road, but it will be worth it when I come out the other side.
As you said, it looks like about 2 weeks should do it.

I've always wanted to learn the cello. Not enough to actually do it, but I love the sound and being able to rest it on the ground is also a plus.

Two weeks should do it, but mastering Paganini’s 24 caprices might take a month.
Enjoy, you have made a good choice.

So, are we at day 1 of your journey?
I submitted the order on Saturday, it shipped a few minutes ago from Vancouver, WA.
I have been reading the books and watching YouTube.
Maybe it's my advanced age, but I think mastery could take more than 2 weeks. I'm not even sure if the word mastery can still be used in polite company.

Arguably the most beautiful instrumental sound.

When played by somebody with several years experience. Horrible screeching noises when not.

Resting it on the ground?
Not necessarily...

LOL I agree and I think the same with the violin.
With something like a piano, you can play a recognizable tune even as a beginner. With a violin (or cello), not so easy.
