Instrument Brands
In no particular order, here are some common instrument brands which tend to be of an acceptable quality for student use. This is not a blanket endorsement of every model of every instrument with one of these labels, but they tend to be common and stand up to years of use. Some brands include a link to a specific new model that, in my opinion, represents a good value to quality ratio.
