...is for Violin...
...my violin, bought for me by my very generous parents when I was a teenager. It is an old instrument made in the late 1800s in France at a well known studio which made many instruments some of which now sell for telephone number amounts, I have no idea how much mine is worth and I have no desire to sell. I started to learn to play at the age of five and had lessons until I finished school. Since then I have played erratically but always had it with me wherever I lived. I have recently had it repaired and now that my children are older I am going to join a local orchestra, my first rehearsal will be after half term..........I am both excited and nervous!

It's absolutely beautiful, and how wonderful that you are joining an orchestra, I hope you enjoy it. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteA lovely instrument - enjoy yourself with the orchestra. My son has his first accordion lesson last night. He will be trying out various instruments this year before choosing one next year.
ReplyDeleteLove that you are joining an orchestra, something just for you. I still haven't thought of my V, hopefully by the end of today I will have come up with something.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful and also how wonderful that you are going to join an orchestra - I am sure you will gain a lot of satisfaction from playing. I have never been able to play an instrument but wish that I could!
ReplyDeleteGreat V and a great picture - have fun at the orchestra
ReplyDeleteWow! So glad you decided to pick it up and play it once again. I've always loved the sound of the violin, hopefully, my daughter will learn how to play :) #alphabetphoto.
ReplyDeleteI learnt an instrument when I was younger but I didn't keep it up. Occasionally when I pass the music shop in our town and see a Clarinet sitting there I do wonder whether I would still be able to get a note out of one or whether it would be just a lot of hot air. Good luck with the Orchestra I'm sure you will both enjoy and love it.

ReplyDeleteWow, good for you. I don't play an instrument, unfortunately. Must be so special to have had the violin since childhood. xxx
ReplyDeleteJoining an orchestra, that's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I played until I was fourteen and then in a moment of teenage rebellion stopped going to my lessons. I have always regretted it. Good luck with the orchestra x #alphabetphoto

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful instrument. I have a French cello from the same time period but haven't played it for years now. I have thought about selling it to free up some cash but I am quite sentimental about it. Enjoy the orchestra! x
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for you! What a beautiful instrument, I hope you will enjoy getting better reacquainted in the coming months. xo
