If you are considering up-grading your son or daughter's instrument first contact me about your intentions.  I have a lot of experience in this and am very willing to help and share some insight.

Quality used is always the first and best option to be considered.  The lowest price available will almost always mean more cost down the road.  Musical instruments made in America are truly among the best, period.  I can elaborate on that in conversation.

Ebay is a great option, if you know what you are really getting.  Here too I am very willing to help out.

Avoid those instruments made in developing counrties.  The alloys are suspect and most often will break even when a repare is attempted rendering the instrument useless.  Parts are for these instruments are often impossible to get.
