Anyone know of a music shop that.....

Does a lease to buy scheme for Flute's??

Have rang around a few places and unless I want to be paying around £90 every 3 months and forking out over £400-00 on a flute then I need somewhere else

My daughter is only 9 and I'd like to know if she enjoys learning the instrument before we buy her an expensive one, so when someone suggested renting one I thought great! Til I realised it was their top notch ones:(

Anyway, any insight would be great:D
Thanks

Re: Anyone know of a music shop that.....

not what you asked for but... cash generator had one in the other day (i was looking at the sax :D ) will be much cheaper than the rental, have you had a look at reidys in blackburn?

Re: Anyone know of a music shop that.....

Yeah rang them, there's are £400 too lol
2nd hand range from £200-£400
They don't do a scheme anymore either, they do a buy back thing where ya gotta buy it outright then ya can take it back and they pay a percentage of it back to ya

Got my fathers Cornet out of the loft showed her how it worked, gave her a tutor book, within a fortnight she could play it better than me.
She still wanted the flute though, so I made the top part of a flute out of German Silver and showed her the correct way to hold it and blow, she was delighted, I then bought her a second hand flute at Ready's, found her a teacher. Within 12 months she'd passed several music exams, her teacher was delighted with her talent.

One day I said go to that teacher at school, ask to have another go at the flute, and then give it your best, then hand it back and tell him to shove it, she did, she also taught the teacher a valuable lesson.

Retlaw.

Re: Anyone know of a music shop that.....

I play flute, and to be quite honest with you unless the flute or keys are bent or dented it will probably be ok I've no idea where they do rentals anymore if Reidys have stopped doing it, if you do find one though i'd be more than happy to have a look at it for you and let you know if its any good.
