Renting a good quality instrument is important for a child's success in their first year of learning. Please do not buy an instrument online! These may seem like great deals, but are usually not playable or have many problems. If a student is playing on a poor quality instrument or an incorect size, learning becomes difficult and it can become frustrating for the young musician.
Renting an instrument is also the best route to take for a beginner as they are constantly growing! Rental stores will be able to exchange sizes easily as your child grows and many have programs that help you use that rental money to put towards a purchase once they are ready for that step.
