Violin buying

If you are starting out, I would advise against getting an electric violin to learn on. They tend to make you sound better than you really are. Get to grips with a proper instrument first, learn proper bow technique (which will take years) and then move to an electric once you're a competent player.

I 100% recommend a teacher to help you learn the basics. They are difficult to pick up, and once you have bad habits brought on by teaching yourself, they are extremely difficult to break.
