The Benefits of a New Musical Instrument
Good Quality Manufacture/Playability
Player Progression/Usage
Resale Value
Beginners usually use a good quality student model musical instrument for about 4-6 years before needing to upgrade.
The upgrade is due to their playing ability and progression, if they have had a good quality instrument to start.
When upgrading, we do receomment jumping to a Semi-Professional/Professional musical instrument as we don't believe the
intermediate models future proof your investment for long enough.
If you can afford an intermediate model within the first 2 years of playing this can be benefitial and future proof you for
about 6-8 years before needing to upgrade to a semi profession/proffesional instrument.
The 4-6 Year time frame is quite fortuitous as you have had the usage of a good quality musical instrument, had the protection of manufacures warranty and now can receive the return on your investment with the resale of your good quality musical instrument.
This resale is what helps you afford the upgrade investment to the professional series instrument that your child now needs to further their progression and musical journey.
