'Fraid not. I was a violinist, but haven't played one since I was 15 (well, unless you count the one or two occasions when I've picked up someone else's out of curiosity and discovered I honestly have no idea how to make a nice noise on it any more). I'd have to practise for quite a while just to get back to "tolerable", let alone "worthwhile".
Also, my left wrist has never really forgiven me for bending it at a daft angle round the neck of a violin for seven or eight years of my childhood. I'm always suspicious that that might have been one of the root causes of my brush with RSI. I'd be unwilling to take up the violin again, just in case. These days when I have stringed-instrument urges I play the guitar instead, which I'm also useless at but at least it lets me keep my wrist at a halfway sensible angle.
