Recommended Instrument Brands - ALWAYS contact Ms. Washington before a purchase!
Please click on the link below for a list of recommended instrument brands. Please feel free to reach out to me before buying an instrument. I am happy to help you find a great quality instrument at a fair price! Below you can find a large list of recommended brands. If you find anything that is not on the list, please send me an email so we can discuss it prior to your purchasing.
***Please keep in mind that we highly recommend renting (not buying), the first year or so of band. We never recommend buying an instrument right away for beginners. Please reach out before making an instrument purchase, I'd be happy to help you with the process.***
