Southwest Strings (Tuscon, AZ) Shar Music (National Distributor) _______________________________________________ Instrument/bow Purchases: Robertson and Sons Violin Shop located in Albuquerque, NM i Wonderful quality instruments and bows along with excellent customer service for the southwest. This is where I do my purchasing and any repair work. They are always willing to discuss pricing and payment issues and even rent instruments to anywhere from the store! you can also order any accessories or music through them for about the same price as an online retailer. If you are in the realm of purchasing an instrument for your Nolan Richardson Orchestra student, please speak with me first so that we can get the best quality available for your price range. Avoid online EBAY purchases! Though some instruments are okay, many are poorly made instruments that become damaged within the first two months of ownership. |
