Hello. I love the violin. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for any anime or VG game songs that feature the violin?

Thank you for your time ^_^

Not sure if the following are what you're looking for.

Castlevania 64 - Main Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cbj6P2b_uU&feature=related) (the violin part start at about 0:30)
Professor Layton and The Unwound Future - Theme of The Unwound Future (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sblMhgPlUjU)
Folklore - Under a Falling Star (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4iM5eVo5yU)
Bioshock - Welcome to Rapture (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEFIZh_Zscc)
Bioshock 2 - Welcome [Back] to Rapture (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YY7CMuszVhw&feature=related)

Ah, I can't think of anymore. Tell me, are you looking for violin solos, or just any tracks that use violin?

Most people remark about Masashi Hamauzu's use of violin being particularly good. If you haven't already, maybe check out UNLIMITED: SaGa.

Awesome, I get a chance to promote Touhou. Check out the TAMusic albums. They are violin and piano. It makes a really great combination.

Thread 67245

They aren't hard to find...They say "Touhou Music Violin". A sample:

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura

Commonly known as just Arcanum. Composed by Ben Houge almost entirely for string quartet.
You will love this soundtrack. Everyone should listen to it!
It used to be a free download somewhere on Arcanum's website, but not anymore. Thankfully someone uploaded it here on ffshrine.
