When planning to purchase an instrument, please select one from the above-mentioned lists. Most music stores will allow students to try different new or used instruments before purchasing. If you plan on purchasing a used instrument, most music repair people can give you an estimated value as well as a list of needed repairs. If you have questions about brands or quality, please do not hesitate to ask one of the band directors!
