Getting an Instrument

DON’T GET STUCK WITH JUNK!

Wait to get an instrument until AFTER your registration appointment!

Avoid “off brand” instruments-they may not play well for more than a couple of months.

Just because an item is shaped like an instrument does not mean it IS an instrument!

Many foreign made instruments are very inexpensive because they are made with:

Poor materials and soft metals

Inferior craftsmanship

Non-standard parts

They may also have problems with tuning and tone quality.

Beginners will struggle with a poor quality instrument. Local music stores cannot do repairs because parts are not readily available.
