[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you for suggestions. I will do the rental at outside vendor. They say $25/month for violin rental and additional $5/month for protection plan(optional). Should I do the $5/month protection plan , do I need that? And the sheet lists that I need to get shoulder rest, fine tuners, spare strings, and folding metal music stand. I don't think they are included as part of rental, do you get all of them or they are optional to buy? Amazon? [/quote]

You definitely want the protection plan. Even if your child is careful, other kids around her might not be. You do need a shoulder rest and rosin. Tuners are part of the violin, and you can deal with spare strings if your child sticks with it, and it gets worn to the point where it needs to be changed. You need a music stand but it doesn't need to be fancy. The shoulder rest, rosin, and stand should cost you around $50 bucks total.[/quote]

Op here. Great, I will take the protection plan just on the safe side. Should I get all other supplies through the music store for the hassle (hope they don't charge me double the online price of similar product) or just order myself through Amazon for direct shipping. Violin is out first musical instrument to learn, so I know nothing much about it.  We will use Potters to go with the basic one violin since we are beginner. [/quote]
