I started the violin when i was 6 years old, but i stopped playing when i was 11 or 12 years old. I'm 16 now, well 17 in a months time, and I would really like to pick up the violin again. However, I'm really sure whether to re-start the violin again, or to start the viola. The reason for my interest in the viola is because I really love the violas depth and thickness of sound. I have my doubts whether the violin can produce a warm sound as well, as I never played a full size violin, I only ever reached a 3/4 violin, but then of course I stopped. So since I've never played a full size violin, I don't really know what the sound is like. I guess I won't really know until I've played both a full size violin and a viola, but is it too late for me to play? Will my fingers be slow? Can I do anything to gradually get my fingers to pick up the pace? Have I been apart from the strings for too long?
