Why Upgrade Your Instrument?

It’s been our experience that the need for a step-up instrument arrives as early as the student’s second year of playing. Just like graduating from training wheels to a new 10-speed bicycle, as students outgrow their beginner instrument they need to upgrade to the next level. By selecting a higher-quality instrument at this juncture, you will provide your student with room to grow as a musician, create renewed excitement and pride, and enhance your student’s musical development.

Build Enthusiasm and Commitment

Nothing renews the commitment level and enthusiasm in a child more than something new. A new step-up level instrument will help your student get excited about music just like when they got their beginner instrument. Upgrading can help improve practice time and quality, motivation, personal satisfaction, and more!

Better Sound

Student instruments are built to be durable and easy to play for the beginning player. Advancing students require an instrument that will grow along with their musical abilities. Step-up instruments are designed to perform at a higher level helping to improve technique, tone quality, and overall playing ability.

More Advanced Features

Many of the features found on step-up instruments are not included on their beginner counterparts. Upgrades like higher quality materials and hand-finishing are just a few of the things that help produce a richer tone quality, increased range, and better overall responsiveness.
