Look How cheap 2nd hand ones are on Ebay. Choose a standard name like Stentor or something. Loads of people buy them and then grow out of them or drop the lessons. Cheaper than renting and most music shops will usually take one in part ex when you buy the next size up. There is no benefit in buying one from a shop at this point as its not as though your child will want to try out a variety of instruments to get one with the tone she likes....save that for when she starts to get good!!

I would always advise that it is cheaper in the long run to buy. 2 terms of renting and you have paid the cost of a bought instrument, that you can always keep, sell or part exchange.


I am a violin teacher, and I always advise pupils that they should actually be buying an instrument if they can.


I would suggest South London Music on Grove Vale

There is a string instrument shop on Evelina Rd in Nunhead. It's upstairs on a corner above the ?talking heads music studio (where the haberdashery used to be 3 or 4 doors along from Sopers. The entrance is round the corner, and you need to ring the bell. They also restring violins, guitars etc.

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
