Musical instruments, especially those of made of great quality are quite expensive. For a start up band, it is usually difficult to run out and buy all new equipment. That is why many bands scout around for the best deals from wholesalers.
Watch out for trade shows and check out the wholesalers who participate in them. Special discounts are offered during these events. Professionals will also be on hand to offer expert advice and reviews of different instruments. You can also play and test the instruments. Trade shows are also good venues for you to get a feel of the trends in the industry and how improve your style and sound.
If you are really strapped for cash, try buying from wholesalers online. Make sure h that what you see in the pictures is what will be shipped to you. Ask around regarding their service and credibility. Before buying an instrument on line, make sure that the instrument you are buying is the instrument you want. In other words, if you went to a local music store and found an instrument you like, decided to go online and buy it wholesale, make sure it’s the same instrument. Some online manufacturers may replace it with a similar model or brand. Also, make sure that you get a warranty on the piece you buy. Whereas local music stores constantly check the condition of their instruments, many wholesales can’t provide quality control because of the enormity of their business. If there is something wrong, you want to be able to return it.
