Purchasing an Instrument

Never rush into purchasing an instrument and do not buy an instrument because they are cheap. A music store's job is to sell their products. Do your research, and before purchasing an instrument, email Mr. Cruz. Please do not buy the $100 instrument from ebay or amazon. Those instruments have no resale value. Most repair shops will not even repair them since parts are not readily available. Because the quality of the craftsmanship is not of great quality, repairs may end up doing more harm than good. Purchase a well built instrument, and a brand name instrument. Cheap instruments and equipment will impede growth and progress.

Purchasing Used Instruments Online or at a Store

"But Mr. Cruz this is a good brand, and the instrument fits our budget!" Before purchasing a used instrument either online or at a retail store, email Mr. Cruz to check if a used instrument for sale is a good brand, or if it is worth purchasing. More often than not, when you buy a used instrument, especially online, that instrument will more than likely need to go to the repair shop to be serviced so it is playable. Always check with Mr. Cruz before buying a used instrument either online or at a retail store. You do not want to purchase a money pit. 

Renting an Instrument

Renting is highly recommended at Hale. When you rent you free up school equipment for students and their families who may not have the ability to rent an instrument.

Rent from a music store that offers instrument insurance, a replacement plan (in case your rental needs to be repaired), and a rent to own policy. Compare each store’s policies and rent from a store that meets your budget. The music stores listed above are near Hale. Those stores rent instruments and provide lessons. You may rent from other music stores if you wish.
