When my child said that she wanted to study how to play the violin I made arrangements right away to have an instructor teach her. I did not have the same opportunity when I was a child, and so I wanted my child to have the opportunity I didn’t. Besides she was already showing some musical promise back then. I knew that she had some musical talent that she could put to good use. So there she was learning how to play the violin, then last week her instructor told me that she needed a new instrument. The first one that I bought for her was no longer appropriate for the level of playing that she has reached already. She needed something that was a lot better and would play better music.
I wanted to be the one to buy the instrument for her, as any father would want. The problem is that I did not know that much about violins or music myself. So I thought I might have a hard time getting a new violin for her that would meet her and her teacher’s expectations. the first one that I had bought for her was just a starter violin and so it really did not matter if it was a low quality violin. I just bought that one from the Internet on some shopping site, and it was really cheap. For her upgraded instrument though she needed something better. She needed something that would match her level of skills. So I asked her instructor to give me some tips on what I should look for in her next violin.
The instructor’s advice was quite simple, he said to just buy a Skylark violin for my daughter and that would take care of all my worries. I went to a local musical instrument store in our city and I asked for a Skylark Violin. Sure enough, they have a whole series of them. I got the best looking one for my daughter, and it was highly recommended by the nice man who ran the store. He said that it was indeed a nice instrument for a child to improve her skills on. I was surprised even more when I learned about the price of the instrument. I was prepared to have my wallet drained dry by having to buy a new violin, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it wasn’t that expensive at all.
