Realize that learning to play a violin/fiddle decently will be a very lengthy and time consuming process. I have seen very good musicians who play other stringed instruments very quickly stop trying to play a fiddle. They had trouble with the slow development and got tired of making noise. The bowing is what gives players the biggest problem.
The violin/fiddle has the potential to produce fantastic music. Unfortunately the opposite is also true. People and animals will vacate the house when a new fiddlers starts practicing.
