Re: What instrument would you recommend for my daughter?

I wouldn't buy her a new instrument right now. I would wait until she is in high school at least. If she is truly serious, you will figure that out by the time she is in high school. If she figures out she really likes playing when she reaches 9th or 10th grade, then you can just save your money and buy a pro model.

I bought an intermediate in 11th grade and just ended up needing a pro one later because I wanted to go on to college. I never got the pro because I couldn't afford it, but wish I would have just saved up longer and gotten one instead of an intermediate.

A student model Vito is just fine for the next year or two, then buy her a pro model once she gets into high school (if she's still serious). So many kids get into high school and decide to quit. Plus she is too young right now to even know the difference between a good horn and a not so good one. Heck, I didn't even know when I bought my intermediate what was good and what was not and I was in 11th grade!
