A Guide to Violin Shops By Richard Romando
There are a number of violin shops where people can buy a violin. Many shops sell both new and used violins, giving buyers a number of options. Many violin shops also offer violin rentals. New violins can cost between two hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Used violins can cost significantly less, but may be of lesser quality. Beginners and students often choose to rent a violin from a violin shop.
There are different types of violin shops. Some sell all kinds of musical instruments and offer violins from several different manufacturers. Other violin shops may make their own violins and many not sell any other brands. Obviously, the larger stores will have a better selection, but they may not have the same type of knowledgeable customer service and sales staff to help shoppers find the right violin to fit their needs. Smaller violin shops that make their own violins can be more expensive, but they often provide the best customer service and help people find exactly what they need.
Buying a used violin can be a great way to save money and still get a quality product. Used violins can have the same quality of new violins at half the price. It is important to make sure that the violin is in good condition before handing over any money. It is a good idea to get some type of warranty on used musical instruments in case they are defective and need to beo repaired.
Many violin shops also offer violin rentals. Some people, especially children or high school students may lose interest in the instrument. It is good to be able to simply return it rather than have to resell it if this happens. Violin rentals are very economical, often costing as little as $20 a month.

DiS meets Hjaltalín
The week or so prior to depature I'd been aware of Reykjavik seven-piece Hjaltalin and their debut record, Sleepdrunk Seasons. Aware that it was as promising as it was engaging and full of both those things. Their second record, Terminal , I was less familiar with. That's to say it was completely alien – I hadn't heard a note of it. Rare are the times that listening to a record is a process of ...
