Beware of online or department/wholesale store purchases! Shar and Baroque string instruments have proven to be successful and are used in our school programs. Please be aware of off brand and inexpensive toys that appear to be instruments. They usually become difficult to repair and lack the durability and quality of the instruments found at the above companies. The instruments through Shar and Baroque can be used through high school and beyond. Instruments that are painted various colors, or brands like Cecelio may seem like good instruments, but they are MUCH harder to play and tune, putting your student at a disadvantage. AN INSTRUMENT THAT PLAYS PROPERLY IS ESSENTIAL FOR SUCCESS!
