I am certainly one of those, whenever I go down to the beach for a walk, I prefer to grab my Uke, flute, or saw instead of a radio.<\/p>\n<p>So, how do you go about choosing a vendor for your instrument? There are a few things which need to be considered before choosing a musical instrument dealer.<\/p>\n<p>a) Quality:<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re going to walk into a store, this is an easy one.  Bring a friend with a good eye for quality and let him\/her guide you.<br \/>\nOn the internet it&#8217;s a bit harder call.  I can&#8217;t speak for all Musical Saw vendors, but as for me, I do it out of the love of the instrument and unless you are going to be happy with your Musical Saw, I&#8217;d rather not sell you one.  I suspect all the other vendors feel the same way I do.  You&#8217;ll probably see the same thing for any &#8220;niche&#8221; instrument ie. Didgeridoo, Dulcimer, etc.<\/p>\n<p>b) Prices and discounts:<\/p>\n<p>Do a comparison of different vendors.  Don&#8217;t only fixate on price, also take a look at what you are getting:  Features, Musical Quality, Range, etc.<\/p>\n<p>c) Return and replacement policy:<\/p>\n<p>You really shouldn&#8217;t purchase anything without verifying there is a return policy &#8211; chances are you may decide after all that the instrument is not for you or you are unable to learn or you may find a defect in the instrument.  I offer a 7 day return policy and other vendors offer varying times and conditions for return, so make sure you see what is going on.<\/p>\n<p>The important thing is to get a musical instrument, learn to play it, and become a generator of music and stop just being a consumer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though it is so easy to pop in a CD or click on your IPOD, there are still a sufficient number of folks today who get more enjoyment creating music than just consuming.
