I have always loved the sound of the violin.  It is the most coolest and almost romantic, classical sounding instrument I can think of.  And if you happen to be interested in Suzuki violin, the Academy of Music Performance is a private lesson studio and school of music specializing in the Violin and Viola.

With their DVD video lessons, methods, techniques and instructions, you can be on your way to playing the violin in no time.
