[quote=Anonymous]I took DD down to Music and Arts and the sales person was nice enough to let DD hold and feel each of the strings we were considering. We weren't looking at winds, percussion or piano b/c they don't offer those at school right now. But, M&A has piano keyboards sitting around and some drums. I knew DD wouldn't like violin b/c of the way you have to cock your neck and hold it still the whole time. She is particular about how things feel. I figured she'd like cello b/c it sits in front of you when being played and she would be able to see all the parts well while she played. She did in fact pick cello. Piano is the obvious first instrument... but I think it's important to consider your kid's personality and how that fits with the physical aspects of playing a particular instrument. Touch and feel is the best way. (BTW, a beginning cello player is very easy on the ears... not sure about other instruments.)[/quote]
