Selecting an instrument is like selecting a partner. You'll have a love relationship with it for your whole life.
You better select an instrument that you love.
And the violin is so much of an instrument to be loved. Everybody has their own love, and their own preference. My preference goes to the violin.
A violin is a bit like an extension of your body. It is built to be held. It is made to be embraced. It is meant to move along with you while you play it and to be the tool of your expression.
When you play the violin, you do something which is very similar to singing. Being able to vary the pitch steadily, by moving your fingers around, permits you to have that intimate feeling that you just cannot have with other fixed note instruments like the piano or the guitar.
The violin is just more of an organic instrument.
The violin pitch range
Violin pitch range goes from G3 all of the way up to C8, the highest note of a modern piano. The highest 2 octaves are typically produced as harmonics, so that the exact range is a bit lower than that.
Consider that a voice range is mostly around 2 octaves, shifted either lower or higher dependent on the voice type.
A Bass type voice goes from E2 to E4. A Soprano from C4 to C6.
So , a voice pitch range is smaller than the violin range. That is a method to look at it. Violin is empowerment! A violin enfranchises you to assert something, to sing something, in a voice-like demeanour. But it does so by increasing your capability of expression. You get a bigger pitch range. And you get all those extraordinary timbre colours that you can do only with a violin.
A violin is voice on steroids
The miracle of the violin
If I was to consider an animal that seems like and sounds like a violin, I might think about a moggy. A cat, when it sings, produces a sound that's in a way a bit similar to the violin. A pussy does express itself too.
A piano, eventually, could be nearer to a dog, I'd venture.
And yes...the shape. A violin is similar to the lustier of bodies. The body of a woman. The most tasty of the instruments. No question why everyone is magnetically captivated by a violin. It is simply the most engaging.
How about the bow?
You don't just play a violin with your hands. You play it with this extension of your hands that's the bow. It's another miraculous item, made with horsehair, that impresses those vibrations to the cords in a soft enough way so that they vibrate without shrieking (if you are a good enough player, of course). Of course, you have got to choose the right violin sizes.
Hence that's the violin. A magical instrument. A magical partner. A spellbinding friend.
I love the violin. It's clear from what I wrote. But I am sure the same may be written for any other instrument, by their respective lover!
