any of u guys play music? my son wants to start learning to play something. he thinks he wants to try the fiddle. but not sure. are there any good music stores in NWA also some one that teachs as well? any help would be great stuck |
Fiddle, huh? Learn how to play the banjo and you've got yourself a band.

i figure with 4 kids and probly more coming some time it should be enough for a band. he also liked the mandolin. i have always liked the banjo. it just sounds so cool. looks pretty hard to play. just need to find a place for lessons for him and a place to buy one from stuck |
Fiddle or violin, whatever you want to call it, has got to be the most tortures things on Earth to listen to someone learning. I agree with the banjo.  Seriously, if he has an opportunity to try out some instrument with someone that can play them, it might help. I always regretted not learning the keyboard. I had the trombone shoved off on me, and ended up playing most all of the brass instruments. They were totally useless later in life. If I had learned the keyboard or even the banjo, it's something I would have enjoyed later in my adult years. I suppose the same could be said about the violin/fiddle, but damn...listening to someone learning to play one would drive me over the edge. Good luck with the decision. Music can really add to a persons life. Even a fiddle. |

yea i am thinking it would be hard listening to the fiddle while he is learning. i was showing him some videos of the mandalin and he thought that looks like fun. he sings a lot while we drive around and has a lot of intrest. just have to figure it all out stuck |

Occasionally , when we are in Bentonville dealing with the Ben Jack's Can't really tell you much about them other than there have a lot of stringed instrument in stock and there are always some good pickers hanging around |

Ben Jack's or Sigler Music Center are probably going to be your best bets. It is a bit embarrassing to admit, but in the last 20 years I have spent more money at those two stores than all my guns total. |
