Where and what brand string instrument should I buy?

New and Second-hand Instruments

Like other musical instruments, string instruments can be purchased brand new or second-hand. Second-hand instruments are equally as good as new instruments if they are a trusted brand and in good condition. Animato Music may have second-hand string instruments in stock (please call the store first (07) 3876 3877), otherwise look on Facebook Marketplace.

I recommend these string instrument brands from the following places displayed in order of quality from basic (beginner) to higher level instruments. The below brands are more than enough for Music Exam Grades up to Level 4.
