I goggled guitar vs. violin in order to learn more about stringed instilments (and found this site). I am fairly familiar with the guitar; however have a great interest in the violin. (This specifically came from A Vivaldi – Winter movement 1) Hearing and watching the same song being played on different instruments (Guitar by an unknown performer and violin by Itzhak Pearlman) one unfamiliar with classical music can really gain a new appreciation. I found your information incredibly interesting and insightful to my cause.
