It's that time of year and I get phone calls every week that start off like.... "yes... do you all sell instruments..." Of course, if they are calling a music retailer.. first clue is they have no idea what a music retailer is or offers.. second is they have a 5th or 6th grader getting ready to start in the orchestra.
I love these calls. I love the opportunity it provides for both parties to enjoy the passion of music and be the store that can help a child in their first lesson or instrument!!
Here's the other thing... YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY!!! What?.. Am I really going to stop someone from buying something at my store?.. Well the answer is a huge NO!! Buy all you want!! :-) However, when starting off in a school music program, it is always a good idea to rent first, because many students will try other instruments over the next couple of years and renting can be like putting $$$$ in a savings account that will go toward that final purchase down the road.
So, mom's and dad's. Come on by the store or a store near you if you are not in our area and talk to the folks there and ask them about their rental program. You'll be glad you did!!!
Oh yeah.. the buy part.. you'll be getting books, stands, accessories and of course... repairs!! :-)
