          This is a list of stores for your convenience.  This list is in no way an endorsement of one store over another, nor is it a complete list for the metro area.  It reflects stores nearest to school.  For a complete listing of stores in the area check the internet and yellow pages of the phone book.

         

Let the buyer beware:

Stay far far away from shiny new cheap (emphasis on cheap) internet instruments.  If the price is too good to be true, it’s too good to be true.  These “instrument shaped objects” get quickly out of adjustment and local music stores are unable to fix them:

  1. Can’t get parts.
  2. Poor quality makes these instruments impossible to hold adjustment.

   Besides which, these instruments often have terrible tone quality, and are very discouraging.

  “Renting to own” from a local music specialty store gives you peace of mind that the instrument can be played and adjusted as needed. 

 

Also, ask stores about rental insurance plans. 

 

Disclaimer – the teacher has no financial  interest in local music stores.  She does have a great interest in helping students succeed in playing music!
