Well, I've been toying with the idea of taking up the violin again - I played as a child with a violin borrowed from school/teacher, promptly gave up as a teenager then took up the guitar instead. I'd like to try again and see if I can pick it back up as I think I need to get some kind of hobby.
Can anyone advise on a decent brand of violin - doesn't need to be performance standard, obviously 
but a nice enough sound quality? And how much I'd expect to pay? Would I be able to buy one from Amazon, Argos or similar? I'm capable of tuning/retuning it, so I wouldn't need instruction on that.
