Please beware of stores such as Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Pawn Shops. While you can often purchase decent or excellent accessories at these locations, do not purchase instruments here! Most of the instruments will not work or might not last long. It’s best to visit your local music store or the stores listed above. Rent-to-own programs are typically the best choice for beginning musicians for the first year or two!
