Beginning of the story

2004, a man who turned to 29 years old thought.
"I haven't done something special up to now... I think I should start something special. Like, something not everyone does. So, how about starting violin!"

At this time, I was living in north-east region of Japan, really rural area. I was working in a Japanese-sake making company. I used to make traditional Japanese-sake.
There was an episode which one sake-making company in Hokuriku(Japan-sea side region)
had classical music while they make sake. By letting yeasts(technically, it's not yeat, it's Saccaromyces cerevisie. Anyway it's micro-bacterias) listen the classical music, especially Mozart's tunes, the sake became incredibly mild and tasty.
So, I also tried to have this experiment. I put a CD player near by the fermentation tank, and put the many classical music endlessly.

The purpose was letting yeasts listen the music. But little by little,
the maker(I) inclind to the classical music more than yeasts...(^^;

I didn't know classical music so much before, but the more I listen it, the more I liked it! That was a magic of classical music.
Before that I really had no interests to classical music.
But I found there were so many reaally great tunes.
And especailly I was attracted by the beauty of the violin's sound.

"Waaoh, this violin thing sounds really beautiful. How could it be so beautiful. It's unbelievable. It must be so great, if I could play this instrument like this CD"
Well, why not start it!?

I decided it.
But I was living in really local area, and of course there was no instrument shop which sells violins! So I looked for a violin on internet auction. And I found this electric violin set.
It included e-violin, bow, pitch pipe, rosin, strings, mini amplifer, and headset.
I bought it about 170$. It was not expensive at all!(^^

Since I was living in pretty thin-wall apartment which you know, people can hear the neighbor's sound pretty often. I was little bit afraid of bothering other people at first.
That's why I chose electric violin, because in the nigh time, I just plug out then sound is really small.

2,3 days later, the man received the delivery of this violin with big excitement. 

He took it on his hands, and felt "Oh, it's pretty heavier than I imagined. Ok,let's try to play with this...Wao! Sound! This is the sound of violin?! Wooooh, greeeaaat.."
He got really excited and had much pleasure of getting a "violin",
without knowing what was waiting for him in the future...
