Purchasing an instrument for home use for your child

Are you interested in supporting your child’s musical growth by purchasing an instrument for home practice! That is great! If you can, I would suggest you and your child picking out their instrument. It is always a special experience for them. Here are some suggestions of where you can purchase or rent an instruments:

  1. Long and McQuade I prefer the Long and McQuade in Vancouver since they have a large selection. Address: 368 Terminal Ave, Vancouver, BC V6A 3W9 Pros: If something happens to the instrument, for example the tuning pegs are faulty in the first year, they will repair it for you. Cons: A bit pricier.
  2. Tom Lee Music I prefer the Tom Lee Music downtown since it has a great selection. The only problem is that it is… downtown.
  3. Facebook Marketplace. Pros: Good price. Cons: If there is something wrong with it you can’t return it, and will need to get it fixed at Long and McQuade.

Soprano Ukulele recommendations: I would make sure not to purchased a brightly coloured instruments, since usually under the paint isn’t a quality wood. A good instrument example is the Leho Soprano Ukulele
