Owning the musical instrument that you play or that you want to learn to play is a great thing, but most instruments are expensive. Fortunately, there are lots of great instruments that have already been tried and tested by other players, so with second-hand items you can benefit from great instrument quality and durability for affordable prices. Here is where to look for great quality used instruments:

• -Local musical instrument stores – most music stores - visit My Music Supply - sell not only new items, but high-quality, operational second-hand instruments as well. Check the inventories of nearby stores to see whether they have what you want – if they don’t, talk to the assistant at the store, maybe they know when they will get the instrument that you need very soon;
• -Used instrument stores – large cities usually give home to used instruments shops or stores that specialize in second-hand items;
• -Online stores – there are many online stores that sell new as well as used instruments. Most of these stores don’t operate physical shops, which allows them to sell their items for reduced costs;
• -Classified ads platforms – many people who want to sell their musical instruments prefer to handle the process themselves, by placing an ad on a suitable platform and negotiating the terms with the buyers themselves.
