Beware  of ISO's (Instrument Shaped Objects) Seriously, see below...Mr. Weedman's "sage" instrument advice:
Your student needs a quality instrument to be successful. We will not have classroom time to constantly fix slipping string pegs made out of soft wood, adjust bridges fit poorly, unstick valves that were machined lopsided from soft metal,  attempt to tune snare drum heads that have more in common with a tortilla than an instrument, or search for woodwind parts that constantly fall out , etc. Seriously, we get a short amount of time per class. Let's make it count toward instruction- not repair. I am speaking from years of experience. Trust me on this....
 As we say every year...BEWARE of ISO's (Instrument Shaped Objects) from worldwide online retailers. For years they have beckoned parents and students like sirens in the sea. However, they are likely of poor construction, they are not assembled well, and materials used are not durable. Playing one is like driving a car with triangle wheels. It just doesn't make sense. Yes, the ones for a really great price from the online company that is named after a South American rain forest are most likely ISO's.  The shipping box is of better relative quality than the "instrument" inside.....Please, please, please avoid ISO's.
