Not sure if you're ready to commit? 

Fontaine instruments are ideal for those who want to have a go without the hefty price tag. The purchase price is usually cheaper than a year's rental, which is how long it should take you to learn the basics of any instrument. Covered by a 2 year warranty, you can't go wrong while you decide whether this is something to invest in. 

There are cheaper instruments on the internet, but we wouldn't recommend the quality of anything cheaper than the Fontaine.
