Choosing The Right Violin Shops

By Lilly Mcguire


If you have chosen to play the violin then you will be making a big commitment. It requires a lot of practise and the instrument you choose needs to be looked after properly. In order to find the best one for you it is best to look in your local area for specialist violin shops.

One of the simplest ways of finding the right instrument is to talk to your instructor and ask them where they purchased their instrument. They should be keen to help you and offer advice on the right one that will work for you.

The types of violin can be broadly placed in three categories. There are the student or entry level instruments that are used by people who are learning for the first time. These will often be cheaper than the more advanced ones. However this does not mean you should accept shoddy quality. It is very difficult to get good music from a bad instrument.

The general advice is to be wary of cheaper instruments. While there are some stories about people finding antiques or quality instruments in auctions or second hand music stores these occasions are rare and it is better to invest in a quality instrument. There are several reasons for this.

Ideally a student who can afford it should go for the best quality instrument. This may not always be accessible to everyone who is learning for the first time. If you are a parent it is probably better to see how they work with a student instrument to start with to see if they are prepared to keep up the practise. If they seem committed then you may want to invest in a better quality instrument.

A good shop assistant will advise people on what is suitable for them. They should also offer them advice on how to take care of their instrument. For example a violin should not be exposed to direct sunlight as this can damage it over time.

The simplest way to look for violin shops in your local area is to use a search engine. Internet search engines usually have online maps to help you find them. Feedback forms will also give you an idea of who offers the best customer service. Look online to shop around and find the best possible deal.
