Where and what brand string instrument should I buy?

New and Pre-Loved Instruments

Like other musical instruments, string instruments can be purchased brand new or pre-loved. You may be able to find a better price for an instrument that is pre-loved. Animato Music may have pre-loved string instruments in stock (please call the store first (07) 3876 3877), otherwise look on Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree online.

I recommend these beginner-level brands from the following places. Of course, if you wish to upgrade to a better brand/budget, that is completely fine. The below brands are more than enough for Music Grades up to Level 4. String instruments
