I recently wanted to try something new and bought a 1/2 Violin, but I have watched videos on beginners but I'm doing something wrong because I can't get it to make sounds. I will travel to you for some help. If you are willing to help me, I can compensate your time. Will travel about 50 miles from Bridgton, Me. Don't care if you are 18 or 80 male or female. I just really need help getting started. I'm a 53 white male. If you feel like teaching an old guy something new, then write back.
