Isn't the violin the most badass instrument ever?

Adamantium

Ok I may not be objective, but I've never seen a instrument more captivating or versatile, I see people play it and it's mesmerising to simply watch as I grin with barely contained envy. It makes awful ****e sound amazing and gives it depth barely deserving. Mind you, I'll just post the good stuff.

What do a violin and a lawsuit have in common?

Everyone is happy when the case is closed.

I cba to click on your links. The only time a violin is worth a listen, is in a soppy film ,when the dog dies!

I was being sarcastic. Text sarcasm, is something I need to work on. Violin's can make people violent... seriously, have you ever seen someone go ape **** over hearing the same piece played again ,and again..and again. It's entertaining ,but there's only so many classical pieces you can hear from people without wanting to smash the object up!

I remember a Lyric DJ being asked how many Mozart CDs a listener should buy.

"One" was the answer.

The piano is the most badass instrument ever.

Whatever happened to owning records?

The hint was that one Mozart recording is all you need.

I do of course realize that the second clip is not a violin. Bagpipes can be badass too.

I find that it best with bagpipes to hear them from a distance for the best effect. I have experimented and discovered that the ideal distance for me is from my house to Scotland.
