Introduction
Musical instruments can be expensive to buy, which is why it's important to learn how to choose the right ones. With wind musical instruments, it's important to check for quality, and to buy the right brands.
Step 1
When looking to get musical instruments, be sure to buy from a credible music store. Otherwise, it's easy to be tricked into getting musical instruments that just aren't up to par or playable. One way to know if it's safe to buy from a music store, or if it's credible, is to ask a music instructor, or musician. Also, a credible music store will have reliable, good quality, well-known brands. Some brands to look out for include: Yamaha, King, Selmer, and Bach. Also, the person running, or working in the music store should know what he or she is talking about. If they have some credible information on musical instruments, and if they seem to be aware of what the top brands are to buy, it may be safe to take their advice on which musical instruments may be best for you to buy.
Step 2
It may be safe when searching for the right musical instruments, to buy used. When looking for musical instruments, and if planning to buy used, make sure that the instrument is in good condition. If you have no experience with the musical instruments you want to buy, bring someone that does. Said person may be able to help identify if there are any inherent problems with the musical instruments you're planning to buy. Also, make sure that the instrument is not a generic brand.
Step 3
If buying online, make sure that when you receive the instrument, you bring it to a qualified music store to check for any problems. Also, as with buying used, do your best to read reviews, check for quality, and check for brand. Make sure that the website either states that the instrument is new, or in good condition.
Step 4
Make sure that the instrument is not a generic brand. These are called "ISO's" (Instrument Shaped Objects), and they're not a quality product. ISO's are made from cheap materials, and they aren't normally constructed with the sane love that a name brand instrument is.They'll fall apart, and you'll be left without a good sound.
Step 5
Be sure to check for quality once you purchase your instrument. One of the easiest ways of doing this is buy letting someone do it for you. Take the instrument into a local music store, and let them check and see if it might need to be fixed.
Tips
1. Buy from a qualified music store. The first place you should check for musical instruments, is a qualified music store. It's generally safer to buy from a decent music store then it is to buy from a pawn shop, or a similar location.
2. Don't buy from Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart may have cheap musical instruments, however, the quality of these instruments isn't usually up to par. Most of the time, Wal-Mart sells cheap, generic brands, and if you choose to buy musical instruments from Wal-Mart, you're not giving yourself the best quality possible.
3. Don't buy generic brands. Generic brands are made from cheap materials. Therefore, they tend to fall apart quickly, and they don't produce a good sound. Be safe, go with a name brand. particularly if buying wind musical instruments.
4. Check for quality. If you want to buy used, be sure that you check for quality. It's possible that when buying a used instrument, that it may already be damaged. If that's the case, fixing it may cost just as much or more than its actual worth. If you don't know what to look for, bring someone with you that does.
