I love the musical instrument loan programs. I loaned a violin for a month to test out whether I wanted to learn to play it.

I like it and the experience gave me enough of an understanding of the instrument to feel comfortable buying a used one to continue on with.

I don't think I ever would have started learning it without the library program, the instrument is so intimidating

That's awesome! My wife brought home a ukulele to try, but then she never tried it and brought it home. On the other hand, she's already very good on piano, so that's not the worst thing in the world.
