or:This is not true generally. Of course, a real injury to the hand, arm, or even the rest of the body is likely to influence ones violin playing, but many professional violinists do the full range of other activities.I was coached by one of the best string quartets in the world, and the viola player also regularly went sailing offshore, which is hard on the hands and fingers, but did not let it limit him.
