Options In Buying Used Woodwinds
Used woodwind musical instruments are a good option for musicians who need to save money or beginners who would like to learn how to play a woodwind instrument. The state of the economy today makes saving money more necessary than ever before. Everyone should try to find ways to save money where ever they can. Buying previously owned instruments is a great way to do so.
Beginners should consider purchasing their woodwind instruments used whether or not they have a crucial need to save money. Buying instruments brand new is expensive. This puts beginners at a high risk of wasting money by purchasing these expensive instruments and then deciding that they no longer wish to play them. That is why it would be a waste to allow a beginner to purchase a new instrument just so I can accumulate dust in their closet.
If a beginner graduates to a new instrument or decides to give up the instrument entirely they can easily resell the instrument, as long as it has been kept in good condition. If maintained the instrument could bring back a large portion of what the owner originally paid.
No matter what type of used instrument is being purchased, it is a great investment for those who must buy several different instruments at once. Families with multiple children who wish to learn to play an instrument should definitely invest in previously owned musical instruments. Say a family contains four children of different ages, each of which takes a band class that requires the children to provide their own instrument. This would be huge expense to the parents of the children used in this scenario. The only way they poor parents can save any money in this situation is by buying their children used instruments. Unless of course they simply kept their children from playing music at all, but that would be purely cruel.
Generally the most legitimate form of purchasing previously owned woodwind instruments is at music dealerships. The professional staff can answer all of your questions and help you find the instrument that will best fit your personal needs. In some cases warranties can even be placed on instruments purchased from their businesses.
Another way to find cheap used woodwind instruments is through private dealers. When dealing with these salesmen it is very important that the consumer keep a cautious eye. It is very possible that the person selling these instruments could be dishonest about the general condition of the instrument.
When determining a woodwinds value be sure to keep in mind that there are several categories to hold in regard as to the condition of the instrument. As new, excellent, good, fair, poor, and lastly lamp material is the general ranking system of used instruments.
Basically 'as new' is as close to the condition the instrument was in when first purchased possible. These instruments could not be distinguished between any instruments that were fresh from the factory. 'Good' could be any instrument that contains very few flaws and only slight blemishes. 'Fair' will show wear, but is still playable. 'Lamp material' should be thrown away immediately.
