We have been renting with Solo Classic for the pas...

We have been renting with Solo Classic for the past 2 years -- we switched from another company near by, because Solo's instrument quality is FAR superior and they never raise their prices. Plus Roumen is a master maker and provides the best service in case you need a repair. At first, we rented with the other company, but we didnt read their fine print... their lower prices are for "silver grade" instruments... which is basically a cardboard instrument and you have to call them to figure out the "correct" price for their "orchestra level" instruments. Shouldn't all instruments be "orchestra level" if our kids are in the orchestra?! Plus they raised their prices within months of rental without letting us know! Writing this review because my daughter accidentally stepped on my son's cello and Roumen was able to do a repair in an hour -- such a nice experience -- plus they are a small family business and we gotta do what we can these days. Thank you Roumen -- see you for that bow rehair next week.
