Wonderful piece...”Sad Romance”. I will tell you a story, and I believe it is true. I have been to many bluegrass festivals (my daughter plays violin and fiddle). I once heard Vince Gill say that there is one instrument which is superior to all. At these festivals, he said, people get into groups and play with guitar, mandolin, bass, violin, banjo....These groups begin as two people and then grow with people just walking up and joining in the playing of music.....But...when the guitars are playing its seems like background....same for mandolin and bass. But, when the fiddle strikes up, heads turn and people take note. The violin is the most beautiful of instruments.

YOU. GOT. THAT. RIGHT.

Nothing tops it.


Where there's a shell, there's a way.

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!
