that's what I was thinking,
the violin isn't an instrument you just pick up, and just jam on a bit
and get something that sounds decent on if you haven't spend a serious
amount of time mastering it,
and frankly, that's probably the case with any instrument...
VS just doesn't seem like the violin playing guy, but then again,
Aphex knows how to play the piano as well doesn't he, so why not a
violin...
