It’s a dilemma where to shop for musical instruments. But the safest way to do it is to shop in person and then make online shopping your second choice. Why shop like this? Simply because you can check the instrument personally, you can stay longer and look for available models, you may ask for professional help and most of all you can take your instrument home as soon as you make your purchase. And so here are some perfect places to hunt for your musical instrument:
1. If you prefer new instruments then you should choose local shops. First of all local shops have instruments that you can touch, play, hold and practice on so you can tell (and feel) if this is the one for you. You can ask the help of actual sales people to help you make a choice and most of all if you can’t find the instrument of your choice you may have these back ordered. Local shops are connected to popular musical instrument dealers and therefore you can still find the one that you need but you must wait for a bit.
2. You may find music instruments for sale for a discounted price from a garage sale or community sale. Take a drive around your community or neighborhood; it’s a positive sign that there is a garage sale when you spot a sign on the front yard. Some homeowners provide fliers and posters of their garage sales and you can find these in supermarket aisles and in community centers.
When buying second hand instruments, you may want to fully check the instrument out. Ask the owner about the history of the instrument along with any repairs done, any other accessories available or spare parts. For instance a for sale second hand guitar may have straps, amps, pedals, spare strings, picks and other accessories that may come with the sale. Finally you should also ask for a set of instruments that the owner may be selling. Certainly you can save a lot of money when you buy musical instruments this way.
3. Another way to purchase music instruments is from a person that plays musical instruments. Anyone that plays in a band could know of music instruments for sale or someone that is selling his instruments. If you are looking for classical musical instruments then you may look among orchestra players. Again, buying second hand instruments may be cheap but it has its risks so do all you can to ask the owner/previous owner about the instrument history, accessories and spare parts. Don’t forget any extended warranties on the instruments since these may be passed on to the new owner.
You may also find musical instruments for sale directly from a manufacturer. Before instruments hit stores, these may be ordered directly from a factory or from the manufacturer. If a factory or business is nearby then this is your chance to purchase high quality and cheap instruments of your choice.
