You may have acquired a violin, but it is not a Stradivarius — those start at a million dollars, and go up from there.

If you want to learn the violin, there are plenty of teachers in your town who would be happy to teach you. But buy a cheap one to learn on and keep the Strad under glass! Since you say you’ve already damaged it, talk to somebody at a museum about finding a special conservator of musical instruments and seeing if he can fix it to minimize the damage. Then rent a safe deposit box to store it in. You also need to get insurance on it, since it is worth a whole lot of money!

If you won a freaking strat..as a violin player, myself, I wouldn’t play it, they are worth millions of dollars if it is an original. I would buy insurance, then go and buy a “beginner” violin and hook yourself up with a music teacher who teaches violin. You could probably find one in you area or close. If you can’t call the local high school and middle schools and ask to speak to the music teacher and see if they can reccommend anyone.

Just play it like Hendrix would a guitar.. After the performance be sure to smash it and set it on fire.. It wows the crowd every time.

A strat? Right on! Don’t learn to play it. Keep it preserved and in the case and sell it twenty years down the road. Good investment.
