<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

That's literally the primary message. Expanded, "Why would you/I buy a violin that you/I don't intend to play by hand?"
[/quote]

The basis of it isn't "Why buy it if you aren't going to play it?"
It's "Why buy it if you aren't going to play it intimately?" The important part is "by hand" not "Why buy".
