The list author says: "The following list is for violins. Viola is the same, except get the viola book and CD rather than violin. Cello and bass don't need a shoulder rest."
"These cloths are very nice, but you can use any soft cloth actually-a piece of an old T-shirt works equally well. Do not use any type of cleaner or polish on your instrument! Even if it says it is for violins. They ruin the finish. Just a soft dry cloth is all you need."
"These are extremely cheap and I only use them to put in the case in case one breaks, but I would then immediately replace it with Thomastic dominants. But this is an affordable way to have a whole set in the case for emergencies. Be sure to get the right size for your violin-4/4 means full size. you need the size of the violin your child is playing."
"Any color is fine, but definitely get this brand. I have tried them all. Kuns constantly fall off for little kids and all other types don't give the support kids need to hold it up parallel to the ground. These are great! Be sure to get the right size."
"Any chromatic tuner is fine. Some clip on like this, others have a plug in clip. I don't suggest ones without any clip. They are hard to use around others who are also tuning."
