Yes there is. Worst case scenario you can turn the violin to the right side and change the strings in its mirror image... A friend of mine did this, not only with his violin but with his guitar too and he had no problem.
Sure, it will be a bit confusing for a non-left handed person, but for you it will be like the real deal.
I wouldn't give up. If you have the aptitude and determination you can enjoy playing music no matter what. Good luck!

Absolutely there's a left handed violin. The left handed violin has only come about over the last few years when luthiers like Gilda realised that you can not force nature to do the opposite of what it is made to do. There are many teachers who believe that you can only play an instrument right handed. This may be if you are planning to play in a big orchestra infront of many, but times are changing quickly and many orchestras will accomodate the left handed players.

A pop, rock or new age song with a good violin sound interlacing with another instrument or a pretty violin solo in the middle of the song?

You're reading Is there a left-handed violin? I am right-handed but my left arm can't turn enough to play comfortably, so i don't know if i should quit or not.
