Violin Learning Questions?

Polo asked:

I’m 22 and played the trumpet from 6th to 12th grade. I can also play the guitar and have developed an interest in the violin. I have a love for classical music and the emotion invoking power of string instruments so I’m considering giving the violin a try. How difficult do you think it would be for me to take up the violin? About how long would it take (estimate of course) for me to be able to play the simple pieces I love with a beautiful tone?

Also, if I were to being playing what brand and type of violin would be best to start with? I don’t think I could take private lessons due to my busy work schedule, so i was planning on self-teaching myself using online guides and instruction books. Would anyone have any recommendations for such sources?

Overall, do you think I have a good shot at becoming a good player?

Thanks for all your help!
