So I’m In year 10 of school and currently on a short reach that we’re renting - it’s now too small and has never sounded particularly good and my teacher wants me to get an instrument of my own. Ive been playing about 6 years and recently did grade 8. She’s wanting me to get a fox renard (either 220 or 240) but there just don’t seem to be any out there for a reasonable price. I’m playing the Mozart concerto at a concert in a year and a few months time

Were only looking at second hand but howarth are charging like 9500 for used which is barely less than getting it new

Any advice?

Few days late I know but can we just appreciate how incredible he was? I hope anyone else that was there would agree but he was on point! Painkiller sounded brilliant, better than loads of other performances I’ve seen. Victim of Changes, Panic attack, the list goes on. His screams were some of the best I’ve heard him do recently
