With an endless variety of music equipment to chose from, making the right choice about brand, quality and price can be a potential minefield. Here are a few things to keep in mind before you start shopping:
What do you want to use it for?
A beginner guitarist’s needs will differ greatly from those of an up-and-coming rock star; as an aspiring DJ, you probably won’t get the most out of that expensive, state-of-the-art turntable. Make sure the music equipment you buy cater for your needs, without putting you out of pocket.
You can always upgrade
Just because you can’t afford to blow the budget on the most expensive saxophone or speakers in the shop doesn’t mean you can’t still buy a quality product. Stick to respected brand names, do your homework properly and remember: if you turn out to be a maestro on the saxophone, you can always upgrade.
Buy the best quality music equipment you can afford
There is virtually no limit to what you can spend on equipment, so the trick is to shop smartly. As there will always be a market for good quality, cared-for second-hand music equipment, you can’t go wrong by buying the best quality equipment you can afford.
Ask an expert
Make sure you know what you’re looking for before you head off to the shops, where the sales assistant will be sure to try making the most money possible out of you. Know which questions to ask, which brands to look out for and if possible, try out the equipment before you buy. If you don’t have a friend who is a music fundi, do your homework online. Ask about the returns policy. A warranty, especially for electronic equipment, won’t hurt either.
