Purchasing Orchestra Instruments
While there are plenty of websites that offer quality instruments, there are many that do not! Please check in with me before making an instrument purchase as I would like to help you get the best deal for your money. Poor quality instruments often break easily and tend to be more difficult and expensive to repair. Many music stores will refuse to even try to repair a poor quality instrument.
If I, a professional string teacher, have difficulty tuning and making a good sound on your child's instrument, then your child will have a frustrating experience. Students who cannot tune or make a good sound on their instruments are usually the first to quit. String instruments are difficult enough to learn, so the least we can do is find an affordable quality string instrument that is easy to tune and makes a good tone when played correctly. We want your child to be successful, so please, let me help you find an instrument that will give him or her a good chance for success.
Please see my letter below that outlines some concerns for purchasing instruments and provides model numbers and links to purchase your own instrument:
