Most definitely. :D I can at least start carrying it around and see what it does for me. (What's a good excuse to not play? Carpal tunnel?) It's a pretty naughty instrument, come to think of it. In the shape of a woman, got all those F-holes and G-strings...
It's versatility also blows my mind. Like, seriously. No instrument can compare, though other strings can be like cousins. (You get points for cello love.)
Favorite violin-based song! Go!
