Tips:

•	Look for a rental contract where the monthly payments apply directly towards the purchase of the instrument if you choose to buy it.

•	Be sure to get all the necessary supplies along with your instrument.  You need the book for our class and a wire music stand.  You may also need reeds, a cleaning swab, cork grease, or valve oil.  Check the supply list for your instrument.  Do not buy anything until after the instrument selection process.

•	If you choose to buy a used instrument, BE CAREFUL!  Many times students are frustrated by an old instrument that doesn’t work properly and end up spending a lot of money on repairs to get it into good playing condition.
