If you are a musician and passed by a music store, then it is very likely that you’ve seen some instruments that caught your eyes. This may most probably tempt you to check out the store and buy from them. But before you do that, have you tried checking other independent stores near you to see if they are offering better prices?
There are instances in which you may find hidden gems by exploring. By hidden gems, we mean high-quality instruments for affordable price.
Take Advantage of Social Media
These days, it is nearly impossible for everyone not to have a social media account like Twitter or Facebook. Use this to your advantage to search for the instrument you like and get recommendations on where you can buy it at an affordable price.
Furthermore, this will help in expanding your network by meeting new people who share the same interests and passion as yours.
Always Focus on Quality
Oftentimes, buying expensive and high quality instrument seems to be counterintuitive. But in reality, this will save you more in the long run. If for example that you saved 50 bucks by buying cheap instruments, there is a chance that it could break after a year of constant use. Unlike if you spend on quality items that may be expensive like 20 or 30 dollars more, but could be used for several years, that is true bargain.
