okay so basically i just need good brands that sell like high quality string instruments because the cello i was using turned out to be like complete garbage and it broke on me so now im stuck w/o an instrument
nothing from amazon please ik its cheap but i'd rather invest a couple thousand dollars into an instrument i'll play for years than something cheap and it breaks in 2 months. rentals are fine too as long as they're in decent quality and not like a gajillion dollars a month ($100-190 a year is fine, or less)
mainly looking for string-only shops, but if they sell like wind instruments idm either i also play those too
