How hard is it to learn the violin?

I’ve been able to read music since I was 6 and I’ve played guitar and bass for 8 years. I taught myself piano, and I play drums, so I can keep tempo in my head. My only problem is that I’m not sure if I can get used to not having any frets. I refuse to buy a violin with frets, as I think its cheating, and not truly mastering the instrument. Any suggestions for a good beginning violin? I’m only 4 ft 11 in, so I have really tiny hands too. Thanks.

How hard is it to teach yourself violin?

I really want to learn violin. I just love the sound of it, and I want to be a part of that sound. I’m highly considering purchasing a cheap, beginner violin and giving it a go. There aren’t very many, if any, violin instructors where I live, and if there are, I’m sure I can’t afford it. Is violin really that hard of an instrument to learn on your own? And are there any books for learning that you would recommend?

Thanks!

PS: Any tips would be greatly appreciated! And if someone could explain to me how rosin works.
