A mate of mine came out with the comment " The best Violinist in the world has never seen a violin!"
"What?" I hear you cry - As I Did ! "One day he WILL see a violin and he WILL become the best in the world"
I have , in my time , played Scottish Bagpipes , Jazz Clarinet and Sax ,Sung Trad Unaccomplished , and played Guitar Banjo and Mandolin well enough to get paid Gigs - but the ONLY intrument I DO claim to play is Penny Whistle !
Its an instrument I just have an affinity for and can do stuff on a whistle that I REALLY struggled with on Clarinet . So try as many intruments as you can and one day you will find YOUR instrument !
