Tell me about the flute or violin
I'm seriously considering buying myself a flute or a violin as a reward for finishing school, so before I bite the bullet and chose which one, I'd like a little information on each.
Stuff like how expensive a decent one would be, how easy they are to grasp, how long it takes on average to learn etc.
Also, I broke some on the fingers on my left hand a few years ago, which makes playing guitar a little awkward , but not impossible, so if I do get a violin, it would be best for me to go left handed.
Anyway, help me decide please.
