The violin is an instrument of pleasure, in the right musician's hands. In its strains, there is incomparable beauty. In its melodies, there is dancing. In its tunes, there is amazing glory. Peace and harmony combine with energy to create something marvellous.

Nothing compares to the power of such music. The violin transcends all social boundaries. Everything is there within the strings -- whether bowed or plucked. Its music touches everyone, great or small.

A violin will play to please the most sophisticated ears -- and the least.

Then again, in unskilled hands, its playing pleases no one.

Except maybe the cat.
