Beware of cheap instruments on the internet!

• There are tons of instruments online that seem like inexpensive starters, but, in my professional opinion, they aren’t worth it

• These instruments break easily and cannot be repaired by instrument repair shops

• They are very difficult to play, especially when trying to match pitches and sound with a large band

• Rule of thumb: typically, if it comes with white gloves or comes in a bunch of different colors, do not waste your time or money!
