Please do not purchase instruments over the internet or from an individual before coming to an Instrument Preview Event for the following reasons.
1. Many instruments on line are very cheap/poorly made and do not play well or last long. I will let you know which instrument brands are reputable at the Preview.
2. Some kids have their heart set on a certain instrument, but when they come to the preview they either can’t get a sound on that instrument or they actually like another instrument better.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me at gconner@kgcs.k12.va.us.
