Does anyone here play the violin? Or if not that, the viola, cello, or bass?

If anyone plays the bass, you are mad cool. Seriously.

Even if it's not bass guitar? I'd be delighted to hear such perspectives.

I always thought playing an instrument bigger than most people was cool. Also, you get this really cool image of a jazz band with a bass player strumming in the background.

Violin and Piano (and have played other stuff in past.)

My older son plays Bass, Piano, and Bass Guitar (and got into Texas All-State Orchestra this year!!! Had to brag, sorry.)

My younger son plays Violin and Cello.

Number one son started Piano in second grade, String Bass in fourth. He taught himself Bass Guitar, leveraging off the similarity to String Bass. (He plays a fretless Peavy TL5.) On String Bass he's been taking lessons from a professional symphony bassist for five years now.

He's a High School Junior, now, and looking at different music schools for college, so it looks like he plans on doing this for a living. Since he can already play rings around me on Piano (he did Debussey's "Clair de Lune" for recital last spring) I believe he has the talent to pull it off.

Wow!Wow!That's like awesome!!!!Oh well let me go practice my guitar.I'm really inspired.Sometimes the hardest part is spending the hours practicing,but I think I have new hope of becoming a better guitarist now.Thanks!Someday when your son goes pro I might just thank him.

Tell him to keep it up.
