Sounding as Good as You Should?

Most of us have struggled to play an entry-level instrument at least once in our music journey. When you first began, that durable, affordable student-grade band or orchestra instrument was ideal. But then you improved. Now, those same beginner-friendly features are holding you back. No matter how much you practice, you sound clunky and pitchy. And it’s just plain hard to keep up with everyone else. Without question, it is time to upgrade to an intermediate- or professional-grade instrument.

These step-up instruments are crafted with the highest quality materials. Sometimes made by hand, they can dramatically improve your sound and tone while providing a better feel and a more responsive action. In short, these instruments are simply a joy to play.

Curious how you’d sound with an intermediate or professional instrument? So are we! If you’ve been playing the same instrument for two to three years, or if your skills have improved, consider upgrading. The experienced staff at West Music will set you up with your very own test drive. West Music carries premier brands including Yamaha, Eastman, Conn-Selmer, Bach, and many more. We are also the region’s exclusive dealer of Accent, Trevor James, and Two Rivers Strings.

Since we are musicians just like you, we’ll give you the facts and feedback you need to make the best choice for your skills and budget. We stay current on instrument rebates and grants that can make your decision easier. If you’re currently renting a West Music instrument, we’ll give you a rental credit you can use for your new instrument. Plus, we can hook you up with our popular Play Now, Play Later financing options.
