Is it realistically possible to learn to play the violin well at age 40 with no previous musical experience?

I’ve always loved the sound of the violin and have been curious about learning to play it, especially in the style you hear in Irish music. That looks very difficult. So just wondering I guess if a relatively old dog could learn new tricks or if this is one of those things you have to learn in your fomative years.
Any example of people who have learned to play only later in life would be inspirational!

How do I learn to play a vibrato on my violin?

I have played violin on and off for about 10 years, but still pretty much a beginner. I do not take private lessons today, but I am very interested in learning tips to develop a vibrato. Any suggestions – tips, books, websites that could help? Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to learn play the violin by yourself?

Without an instructor, only internet and some music sheets.

I learned to play the guitar all by myself and only know how to read tabs, not music.

My mom kept saying me that it’s no use since we can’t afford to pay me an instructor if ever i have bought the violin. But i really wanna learn to play it.

So.. is it possible?

Can I learn to play a violin and a piano at the same time?

I’m 15. I haven’t even touched a piano in 5 years & I only got a few months of actual learning with is practically nothing now. Also, I didn’t even like pianos first. I tried the guitar 4 years ago, too. But, with only a few months of playing, I gave up. I feel like I selfishly wasted my life on video games and tv. Now, I want to try it again. I already have an upright piano in storage. Also, I want to get violin. I don’t really like holding the guitar, and that’s sort of why I don’t play it. I realize that learning to play even 1 instrument takes time. Do you think that this is possible?

Can I learn violin without having to hurt my piano fingers?

I’ve been playing piano since high school and played classical pieces. I’m wondering if my fingers get injured or dexterity loss on piano if I learn to play violin. I expect an advice from a classical pianist. You know, I wont risk my dexterity. If playing violin affects dexterity, then I wouldn’t mind learning it.
Please give me some advise as I’m planning to get a violin next week.
Thanks.
