Houston Stringworks, located on Jameel is like stepping into Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory with out the oompaloompas! Everything you could ever want or need for a stringed instrument's is here.
The staff is excellent, they are more than willing to answer the dumbest question for the newest musical momma and they make sure that you get what you need with out making you feel like you got more than you wanted. Word of caution, These are HIGH end instruments, and like any luxury item they come with the luxury price tag. Thats not to say that you wont find reasonable priced items there as well. You can get the most commonly required beginners book for Orchestra for round about $6.50. Thats a little higher than some other shops i visit, but not to out of line. This store is geared more for professional (price and instrument quality) but a beginner would not feel out of place
