INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Cheap, flimsy wire hangers might be enough for the rest of your wardrobe, but a wooden hanger is ideal for hanging your suit. This will ensure it retains its shape, whereas wire hangers tend to cause wrinkles and will even deform the jacket's shoulders.

Suits are usually sold in plastic garment bags, to ensure they don't suffer any damage on their way to your closet.

This can lead to nasty odours and easy access for moths. You can find cloth garment bags rather easily; stores usually sell them if they sell suits. Important things to consider before buying are: Compare the length of the bag to that of your suit. You don't want the suit to get bunched up while it's stored. You can and should be storing dress pants with their respective jackets. Extra features that aren't needed but can be handy include cedar linings and extra zipper flaps to ward off insects.

Remember not to dry clean your suit more than a few times a year. More than this and you risk damaging it.

SUMMARY: Use a wide-shouldered wooden hanger. Store your suit in a cloth garment bag. Dry clean your suit before storing it for the season.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Student violins are usually made from less expensive woods and are manufactured by machines rather than by hand. These are less expensive, typically ranging from $100 to $800 and are perfect for beginners. If you are just starting to take violin lessons, you may not want to invest in an expensive and high quality violin only to discover that this is not the instrument for you. Once you have been playing the violin for a few years and want to improve the overall quality and sound of your instrument, you should upgrade to an intermediate level violin. Some brands will not produce an intermediate level violin, but those that do price them around $1,000. Professional violins are hand-crafted by a master luthier and are made from high quality wood. These instruments can cost thousands of dollars and are ideal for professional musicians or art collectors. Traditional acoustic violins create warm and rounded tones as a result of the natural resonance of the tonewood. These instruments are best suited for classical and folk music. It is possible to attach an amplifier to an acoustic violin. If you only need an amp for some songs, it is best to stick with an acoustic violin. Electric violins have built in pickups that amplify the sound and produce a brighter and more raw sound than the acoustic violin. This is preferred if you are playing rock or jazz music. Consider the type of music you like. If you listen to rock music, you may be more inclined to use an electric instrument that can create a rock sound. If you are just starting out with playing the violin, you may prefer renting prior to making an investment. In many instances, you can actually rent the violin to begin with and then eventually buy the violin. Your rent payments will go towards the purchase price.

SUMMARY:
Buy a student violin if you are a beginner. Select an intermediate violin for improved quality. Choose a professional violin if you are an advanced violinist. Buy an acoustic violin to play classical and folk music. Get an electric violin to play rock and jazz music. Inquire about a rent-to-buy program.
