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.
