STOP - DON'T DO IT!! ⚠️ A cautionary public service announcement:
So, it's beginner band season and you want to find an inexpensive solution for your child's instrument. DO NOT GO ONLINE AND BUY USED SHINY INSTRUMENT-SHAPED OBJECTS! *Because used instruments being sold on the internet have no warranty, no inspection, no sanitization, no guarantee they actually work - you could find yourself needing to "invest" in costly repairs, for an aging instrument you may or may not keep. Costly means $100-$500 is not unusual, and then your child may quit band.
We hear the horror stories everyday - people buy horns, not understanding the remedial cost of repairs for things like bad pads, bent stacks, stuck brass, etc, or what the actual costs of professional services are to fix these things to bring your "used" horn back to "play condition".
So then they go on "stuff mart" and buy a (cheap) pot-metal horn that we call "disposable". Your band director has warned you off these foreign poor quality "instrument shaped objects" hopefully.
So, then you think "I wonder if the neighbor can loan me their old horn" (which you'll be investing in, and only "borrowing").
FORGET ALL THAT - it's not the way - it's all a gamble, and one you may not be happy about later.
INSTEAD - 👍
