Thank you for  your help and guidance. We knew nothing about student violins – and wanted a reasonable price but also desperate to avoid a cheap violin that would discourage her.  And now we feel better prepared to make an informed choice on what is best for our daughter.

Low-priced, cheap violins are not always the best choice. There are many really bad cheap violins on the market – some don’t even work. So beware of ordering a cheapie no-name on the internet or from a big box discount store.

Consult with your local music shop or with well-known websites like this one. You need the advice of an experienced professional to avoid rip-offs.

Thank you for providing this service. Your expertise is very much appreciated. Our son loves his new instrument! The company you recommended could not have been more helpful. We got a quality violin – avoided the pitfalls of getting a cheap violin that doesn’t work – and we now have music in our house.
