• A Few Things You Should Consider:
A good quality instrument gives a student an advantage because the instrument is easier to play and provides better tone. An older instrument that hasn’t been used for years and is dirty or out of adjustment will discourage a beginning student. In the first few challenging months of the learning process, the quality of the instrument is critical to your child’s success.
Your band director will list a few preferred brands. Be aware these are not the only instruments that are acceptable, they are merely a few of the reliable brands available. We promise we will not sell or rent poor quality brands!
We often see parents try to save money by acquiring an instrument on eBay, or in a local pawn shop. This is sometimes a good way to save, IF you know what you are looking at. Looking at a cheapo Import at your local Hardware/Grocery/Garden Center? Do your child, their band director, and us a favor…Don’t Do It!! Why spend your hard earned cash on a piece of junk only to set your child up for failure?
Most often, buying from a local vendor, who offers a guarantee, expert repair service, and who supports your local school band program is a far better option. But, if you happen to find an older instrument, we urge you to bring it to Southeastern Musical Services for a FREE evaluation by one of our professional technicians. We really do want your child to succeed in band!
