Buying an instrument?
The School Band & Orchestra
Magazine has created a website
with information that might be
useful to you when embarking upon
the fairly difficult task of
purchasing a new instrument.
PLEASE BEWARE
of instruments that
have a cheaper sticker price ---
they look great, but there is a
reason that they don't cost as much,
and usually they develop major wear
problems very quickly.
See
below for information on buying
cheap instruments.
Ask a private teacher or your band
director about the brand you are
considering. DON'T JUST BUY OFF
THE SHELF!!! I would say, never
buy from a discount store, and I
would be cautious about buying from
a store that seems to deal primarily
in guitars, keyboards, drum sets,
etc. Even though they look like they
have a band instrument department,
they often don't have people who
really know the instruments.
Your best bet is to work through a
private teacher who can be most
knowledgeable about advising you of
what is best for your child. If your
child is not taking lessons, do
check with the band director before
making purchases.
Lastly, just as you would never buy
a car without test driving it, NEVER
BUY AN INSTRUMENT WITHOUT HAVING
YOUR CHILD PLAY IT. If buying a used
instrument, be sure to have a
licensed repair person look over the
instrument or have the band director
play test it before purchasing.
