We sell instruments! Consider purchasing your first instrument from the Crescendo Music Store (an affiliate of Popplers Music) and enjoy the ease and flexibility of low monthly payments, instruments that “grow” with you and the satisfaction of owning your own instrument. Every dollar of profit benefits the Crescendo Orchestra here in Northern Minnesota.

Order online and it will be delivered to 214 E Howard St within a couple weeks. https://rentals.popplersmusic.com/aerntschoolselect.aspx
