And a public service announcement to anyone who's...
wanted to learn to play an instrument but didn't because they thought they were too old:
DO IT NOW. YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD. IT WILL DO THINGS TO YOUR BRAIN THAT ARE AMAZING.
Seriously.
I've never played any instrument (well, except for the recorder, for two years, 23 years ago), and I can only practice for something like 5-10 minutes a day, and I'm not particularly gifted, yet it's absolutely awesome.
If all that's keeping you from it is concerns about your age (and not, say, the fact that the instrument you want to play is a church organ *g*): don't let that stop you. I've let it stop me for at least fifteen years or so, and now I feel fucking stupid for waiting so long.

Other than that... I'd love to learn the violin, but I'm told that adults just can't bear a crappy sounding violin as long as kids do ;)
