Before you rent or buy

  2. Get the assigned instrument from the music teacher, plus any recommended model.
  3. For violin, viola or cello, ask the teacher for the size.

We’re an independent store with no official ties to any Mission Viejo school or district. Your teacher’s list always comes first.
