[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it’s rented from a local music store. The strings come off, this little wooden piece falls off, his strings teacher from FCPS just says take it back to the store, we go back, they fuss with it, two weeks later same problem. I have never played any instrument so I’m just at a loss. We have paid for online lessons but the instrument breaks so much. In person would be much better so the instructor can help with explaining how to fix it.[/quote] If you rent one from one of the places named here —and I’d add Brobst in Alexandria to the list— that won’t happen. I’ve never heard of a bridge (that wooden piece) falling off on a regular basis. It’s actually pretty hard to do without taking all the strings off. Is your child trying to tune it with the pegs (not the small metal screws near the bridge) and breaking the strings? Agree that $30-40 for 30 mins is pretty standard. More at conservatory-type places like Levine or Mason Community Arts Academy.[/quote]
