Should we/I buy a violin? Please Read this carefully.
We do not recommend buying a violin without a professional second opinion ever!
We prefer rentals for young students because a capable violin shop can assist with
repairs and also use your investment for a down payment for a new instrument
someday.
Buying an inexpensive violin to avoid rental costs may seem like the most cost
effective thing to do, but think about this: You are investing good money in private
lessons. Buying an inexpensive, inadequate violin severely limits the potential you or
your student can get from those lessons.
For adults, the same applies. Please bring anything you are interested in buying to us
BEFORE you buy it. Instruments can be a considerable investment. We can help
make the right choice not only to own sake but also for resale in the future.
I reserve the right to object to a violin that I deem inappropriate for productive violin
studies.
