Violin is a fantastic instrument. You can play almost any style on a violin. With a violin you may use a night sordine, and practice without disturbing your neighbors. With a violin you can play in tune without temperature. We shall proof in this course that he old harmonic scales sounds much better for humans than the modern well tempered scales.
