So you're saying that because you know a lot of annoying violinists, we're all annoying? If we have to earn your respect, maybe we should have to earn your bad opinion too?

Edit: Also I misunderstood you because I thought you were talking about the instrument, not the players of the instrument.

sorry if you misunderstood me, most violinists have earned my bad opinion, I know most of them personally. So I try to keep an open mind.

*mind boggles for a moment* wait what

do you mean most violinists in your orchestra/area or do you mean most violinists, full stop?

If it was in total, it would be a hasty generalization fallacy, so more likely it's the ones that Mr. Bassist knows.

Sorry, the ones in my area/orchestras. That would be a lot of people to know.

Aaand I once took 6 months of violin, and then I quit.

I could play piano, but I decided to quit halfway.

Made it real far, though

[Lord Spirit he/him]

I looked through this entire thread, and apparently I'm the only viola player so far??? 
I guess the others were scared off by the Viola Jokes thread.

[Edema Rue she/her]

I like the viola!! Like yes I’m a first violinist but I’d love to do the viola someday!! I think it’s beautiful!!

Pizz is tough, especially for long periods (or entire songs).

i was playing two songs that were all pizz, one was like 60 measures in 6/8, the other was like 120-130 in 4/4

[Ookla she/her]

I have played the violin (for about 9 years; I didn't like it and quit twice [don't ask]), the piano (for about 11 years, then quit due to time constraints), the organ (to keep up the piano skills), and the Irish pennywhistle (I don't play this as much as I should; it's super fun, though!). I also have approximately 30 total minutes, each, of bass and cello experience (because I was helping out with a summer orchestra program and we didn't have enough experienced bassists one of the days to teach the newbies who'd never touched a bass before, and cello looked fun to play with). I've gotta say, my fingers never hurt so bad as when I played the bass for a few minutes. Y'all who play it well are incredible.

Hehehe. How did I know somebody would probably do that?

Basically, because my dad is an orchestra teacher, he was also my violin teacher, and as such I was required, as a child, to learn to play the violin. But I eventually got fed up with it and quit--then discovered that I was bored without all that time being filled by (admittedly, very, very poor) violin practice and took it up again, only to quit again a few months later because I really, truly don't like playing the violin.

And then, because I needed to fill the time, I took up organ, and that is much more fun! Pianists always feel intimidated when they look at the organ and realize you have to play notes with your feet, too, and it is a bit of a different skill, but once you get used to it, playing around with the stops and making big noises is awesome! Totally worth it!
