1) Violins can be rented, although I don't know how that fits into your budget either. At least you have one offer of a loan. 2) Are you near a music school, one that offers university degrees? Music students often teach lessons, and I would guess they're more open to barter than professional teachers, although that may be an unfounded assumption. Might also be a source for a borrowed instrument. 3) I think this will be your biggest challenge.
