[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You end up spending more in rentals than buying.  Buy a cheap one.  [/quote]

Not good advice.  Better to rent a higher quality instrument with insurance. Potential for better sound and better outcome if kid has accident at school with instrument, also, easy to turn in if kid wants to switch[/quote]

We've done both.  Renting was a waste.[/quote]

I wonder what you mean by that. It will always cost money to play an instrument. My teen has been playing for 11 years, and owns an expensive professional-level instrument and bow she cannot bring to her public school. We continue to rent a full-size instrument from Potter's, just like in the past when her small fractional size rental was her only instrument. She keeps the rental at school, and avoids traveling daily back and forth with an instrument. She uses her own instrument for her private lessons, youth orchestra, chamber music group and competitions. A lot of serious teen string players do this.
