As long as you can hear if it's in tune i think you can pick up any string instrument. I started when I was six, so that probably helped a bit. In a way it's like when you play a clarinet you know where to put your fingers without looking after a while- it's like that but more complex.

I'm in the middle desk in our local symphony orchestra

Yeah, I suppose with practice, you'd get it right.
It'd probably be too confusing for me to start learning a string instrument, going straight from a woodwind.

I'm 1st trombone on my school band - not that's much of title, since I'm one of three trombonists. The trombone is a little boring, because it sounds like a fart, though. Razz

I play in my school orchestra. VIOLA POWER.

...Sorry. Had to say it. As far as finger stripes/tapes go, I had them for my first year and a half or so before my lessons teacher pulled them off and started yelling at me for being out of tune.

Oh the irony.
