My aim was to buy to a bow, a music stand and check out the price if I were to buy a viola.
1st stop supposed to be Gremacy. After realising Bus 7, instead of Bus 197 which I should be on, wouldn’t go to Tanjong Katong Road, I alighted and run against the rain towards Tanjong Katong Complex for my supposed 2nd stop:
Synwin. I tried a couple of violas from the china made - $500 - $1500, and the german made $2800 to $3800. I left the shop buying a 16″ viola bow for $90 and a music stand for $16.
I took the walk thru the Istena Park from Doby Gaut Mrt station towards Merien Shopping Centre. Thats the first time I been to Music Essentials after they moved from the Specialist Shopping Centre. They sell mainly Eastman instruments, an American company which moved their production to China.
For the sound quality you get from those instruments, its hard to get for a lower prices. I thought I would get the $800 16 inch viola if I really decided to get one.
Next stop. Shopping for a piano teacher to prepare myself for a sponsored Grade 8 exam?
