For beginners (students and parents alike), we have no idea if the sour tone is the student, the strings, the instrument, the bow etc. Parents like me aren't trained in music. We rent (typically) a violin outfit and are at the mercy of whatever it comes equipped with. Need to replace a string? Which one? They are expensive, and without knowing the impact, we might choose the cheapest. In fact, I would *love* a real, unbiased education in which strings, which bows, which instruments as their children grow musically and eventually we want to "upgrade" their "stuff." I'm shopping this month for a violin for W and I can tell you, it is overwhelming.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02000596875413547383noreply@blogger.com
