It’s so exciting to be looking for an instrument, but before making the final purchase, ask yourself these questions:
- Is it the right instrument for your kid (or you)?
- Is it the right size?
- Can you afford it?
- Have you considered the noise implications?
- Is it good quality (does it have any structural weaknesses)?
- Do you have a place to keep it?
