I played piano in grade school to high school. I seldom played much after that, just once in a great while when I came across a piano. I am 51 now and just started violin this week. After four days, I can play Mary Had a Little Lamb, Jingle Bells, and a little of Ode to Joy. I don't think you would find it difficult to pick up the violin. No, I don't have the coordination to play it perfectly because this is the first time I've picked up a violin. But all things worth doing in life require practice and patience. The challenge is part of the fun.
