If you are new to band instruments, we have some great knowledge on what to look out for when buying a trumpet! If you don't find what you are looking for on our site, please give us a call at (210-224-1010) Downtown or (210-525-1010) Babcock so that we can answer any questions you may have!
For us to serve you better, please consult your band director on the
preferred instrument so that we can get you the perfect instrument to satisfy everyone!
First: New, Used, or Rent? We offer all three choices. New is more reliable, sounds great, just costs a little more. Used is perfect for anyone starting out. Rent is also good for those who are not sure what instrument they would like to play. I am pleased to say that we offer all three choices. (SPECIAL ORDER) We can easily order them-give us a call!
Second: The string bass comes in various sizes. The correct size for each student depends on the overall size of the student. Usually, by the time students reach 8th or 9th grade, most will require a 3/4 size instrument which is also used by most adults.
