Learning a new musical instrument does not actually have to come with an enormous cost of buying that particular musical instrument in the first place. We’ve got a wide range of musical instruments offering the best value for money: whether trumpets, ukuleles or keyboards (see our recent post on the YONIX roll-up keyboard), not to mention our comprehensive range of musical accessories.

You might be wanting to try out teaching yourself a new skill using online videos; or perhaps have joined that long list of parents in the same shoes wanting your potential mini-Mozart to shine as they serenade you at the school concert. Either way you are probably worried about shelling out possibly hundreds of dollars on something that for all sorts of reasons might not be worthwhile.
Anxious parents may well be aware that their child’s apparent burning desire to play the piano this month might have turned into an equally strong passion for the trumpet by next month. Or that they may very quickly realize they don’t like practicing at all, even if you are still going to make them attend the lessons that you have already paid out the money for. Maybe past experience has taught you some youngster’s natural ability to break things makes that expensive new instrument a slightly too risky investment.
We here at Banggood are always up for trying new things too, and although with the benefit of age we might take the commitment to learning a new musical instrument more seriously than we did when we were younger, we know full well that sometimes you just need to try out something new in life before you decide that it’s not for you. No harm in that.

So with the arrival of some new Astonvilla violins in the office, we wanted to give you a nudge of encouragement to take the first step on your musical journey, especially if you’re worried that your journey won’t be very long. Learning an instrument is a fun, satisfying way to bring some new interest to your life, and can open up new social opportunities through shared interest with others. It’s even been shown to be very good for overall brain function and development.

Our range of Violins sit at fantastic price points, representing excellent value for money. We’ve got our jazzy colored violin range but if you are after that classic look then maybe upgrade to one of the Astonvillas that we’ve just got in. (In either brown or burleywood finish.) They’re made from natural spruce and maple, and come alongside all the essentials including tuner, rosin and shoulder pad support. The solid construction and great sound (according to how well you play) make them our top choice violins for beginners …so get started now and remember to keep up the practice.
