NOTE FOR PARENTS
Before buying an instrument, please do a little research (such as asking me). I do NOT recommend that you buy an instrument at the same store where you can also buy clothes, small appliances, and gallon jugs of ketchup. I understand that the price may be tempting, so when it sounds too good to be true, then in this case, it usually is. Those instruments are frequently very frustrating for the students. It's also possible that there are no parts available for them and they can't be repaired when they break.

There are certainly many other places.
These are just a few that I’ve used or I know by reputation.
If the repair shop needs to keep your instrument for a week or more, ask if they have one to lend you.
