My local dealer has inexpensive imported instruments in addition to the major brands. Should I save money by buying one of the inexpensive imported instruments?
back to question 7) ANSWER: As with anything, you get what you pay for. Since many people understand cars better than instruments I often pose the same question about cars: Would you buy a cheap import whose name you’ve never heard of and which doesn’t have a clear path for repair or replacement parts? Remember the “Yugo” automobile? That would be the quality instrument you would be buying. My advice is always to buy the better-built, more expensive instrument whose company has a proven track record of quality and support. I have asked local dealers who not only carry the major brands but also carry the inexpensive imports and their answers are all similar: Somebody’s selling these so I may as well make the money rather than some on-line faceless entity, and I always try to talk the people into the major brands and only sell the imports when they refuse to buy the major brands. One even told me “I tell them they’re buying an instrument that’s not very good.” The musical instrument mark
