Buyer Beware:
Buyer Beware:
When renting or buying an instrument, think of it like getting a car. You want to get a brand name instrument so that when (not if) it needs to go to the shop, there will be parts available to repair it and keep it in good working condition.
I advise against getting an instrument from anywhere that you can also get groceries, clothes, or tires. You want to get a quality instrument that will work properly for your beginning band student.
If your child shows up with an instrument that is not suitable (not a name brand, in poor condition, does not work properly), I will let you know so that we can set him or her up for success.
If you have any questions or problems getting an instrument, contact me ASAP and let me know what is going on. I can help if I'm aware of your needs!
