It says I should play one of a very few instruments I never learned...violin...

I learned guitar at age 5. Everything in the high school band room. Been playing onstage with various bands since 1967. Did a 4th of July gig this weekend, guitar player.

I picked up a violin once, I could fumble my way through a simple scale in a few minutes, that’s the only time I ever tried one. Only other instruments I never learned were banjo, oboe and bassoon. I currently own 6 or 7 guitars including a couple that need parts and repairs, 2 xylophones, a flute, an alto sax, 5 amps, several effects pedals, small PA board, I think I still have a clarinet and a 70’s Wurlitzer Electric Piano...

You have quite a collection! Do you still play any of them? Were you in a band? I wish I had learned some strings, but never really pursued it.
