When purchasing or renting instruments always get a quality instrument that suits your child. String instruments (guitar, violin, viola, cello) should be properly sized by a professional. Be cautious when ordering instruments online. It is always best to test an instrument prior to purchasing.

I recommend purchasing or renting instruments locally if possible. Below are reliable vendors I have used in the past and they provide good products and service.
