[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD took violin and quit after a year. I fully supported her. Its an annoying instrument, both sound-wise and technically speaking. It constantly goes out of tune. I attended her class and 75 percent of the time was spent dealing with technical issues: instruments going out of tune, not enough resin on the bow, etc. She took up the guitar next. Stays in tune for days! She loves it. Great sound too.[/quote]

Sorry, but the guitar sound is nowhere near as nice. Can't hold a long note, for one thing. [/quote]

What a dumb comment.  The guitar is great--versatile (I have some great classical and jazz guitar recordings), portable, and easy to accompany yourself or others singing.  Good guitar is lovely to listen to.[/quote]

Really? And "violin is an annoying instrument" is not a dumb comment??
Also, I can totally relate to OP. My daughter is eight and has been playing piano for three years, she is up to quite a high standard now. She takes piano exams every year, plays in concerts etc. and it is a HUGE time/emotional investment for both of us. I would be heartbroken if she decided to quit at this point. [/quote]
