Why is violin hard to play
When you pluck a note on a guitar string, there isn’t very much that can go wrong. You may not play the right note at the right time, of course, but a single note will always come out at the expected pitch, and sounding reasonably musical. When a beginner tries to play a violin, things are much more difficult. When a bow is drawn across a string, the result might be a musical note at the desired pitch, but on the other hand it might be an undesirable whistle, screech or graunch. This difference stems from a fundamental distinction between the physics of plucked and bowed strings. Mastering the violin is a complex job that requires years of intensive training. The violinist must be able to transmit his feelings to the listener while feeling perfectly at ease with the instrument, be it in the accuracy of each note as in the use of the numerous sound capacities of the violin.
