“goes out of range for violin.

“Would've used this for a student, but it goes outside of the range of the violin. Good for other instruments, I guess.”
“No good for the violin, a violin can't play that low and even if it is transposed, it misses the entire melody.”
“goes below range of the violin on bars 21+22. I suppose I could transpose everything to a higher pitch”
