Hello everyone. My name is John. I played the violin from the age of 7 to 17 then switched to classical guitar. Now, 47 years later I'm playing the violin again, as well as the guitar.

I've made 4 guitars and am part way through a violin. Fingers crossed.

I've been following this forum for a while now; it's excellent.

Hello Muswell,

Welcome to the forum. I also play the guitar and violin as well.

What part of London do you live in?

North London...Muswell Hill to be precise. The place dates from the 12th century and is the source of the river Moselle....hence Muswell. I like the sound of the word, like one of Dowland's pieces, and my real name seems to be already taken by someone in the violin world.

Guitar and violin is a good combination I find. The guitar is self-contained and not too loud while the violin is good for playing with others and letting rip. I think my teacher will only be satisfied when she ses smoke coming from my violin.
