Thanks very much to all for taking the time to write advice.
A teacher is certainly first on the list. This adventure will not begin until we have completed our household move in early March. We will be in the northwest Atlanta metro area, so any reference to a teacher there would be appreciated.
I found an excellent teacher right away when I began oboe (Dayna Fisher) and she has saved me a bunch of time and effort. The same case with violin when I was learning that. It's silly to try to teach oneself unless there's no other option.
All the posts are very good reading to gain an understanding of the nomenclature and some feel for what are reputable brands and models. My wife and I both feel it is worthwhile to have good equipment as it makes for fewer obstacles.
Renting an instrument is a possibility and we may go that way, but my one experience has been that most rentals are beginner quality intended for the school trade, and don't necessarily play easily.
Thanks once more for taking the time to help.
