Genie, I saw a guitar shop selling violins on Gergaresh Road near a costume shop with a green teletubby and bat man suit in front. I used to play violin myself when I was young.

Hi Genie,

As veechansa says, there is a shop selling violins on Gargaresh.  If you are approaching Regatta, you will find it opposite the turn off to the Skanska camp, on the right of the street - a narrow shop with a glass front.  If you get to the wadi, you've gone to far.

Not sure what the quality will be like however; the guitars they stock are very dubious...

Thank you guys..will sure look into it when I head to Tripoli the next time!

Just out of curiousity, is there a classical music scene in Libya.... don't laugh, I'm serious!

I don't know..But the reason why am inquiring about violin -> I plan to learn to play the same during my free time..Found a teacher to help me with the same!

Good for you.  Check out smartmusic.com  I don't play anything but my niece has this and it is cool. It gives you all of the Suzuki books and you can practice by playing along with the computer. I wish you the best of luck in your musical endeavor!

Genie, Libya provides you with a great opportunity of self-development, doesn't it

GISgirl-> Thanks and will check it out

Vee--> ha ha! not sure about self development..but the idleness, for sure, is driving me insane...While I go mad, let me drag my neighbors along...Me practicing late night can be really fun
