Is your music student ready for the next step in their musical journey?
Join us for our annual Selection Event. It's the perfect time to secure a professional or performance-level instrument at a price that works for your family! Explore top-tier brass, woodwind, and orchestral string instruments at the largest multi-instrument event in the country. Discover why this event is an experience specifically designed for students and aspiring musicians.
Why is this year different? While we offer exceptional value on all instruments, we have secured a special selection of aged, used, demo, and refurbished instruments that will be priced significantly lower than our standard Selection Event pricing. This is a limited-time opportunity to access the next level of instrument quality for less!
Band
Why should I upgrade?
Why should I upgrade?
Upgrading your student’s instrument can remove technical barriers and let them focus on true musical expression. Stop watching them struggle and start helping them play to their full potential. Step-up models are designed for complex fingerings and improved intonation, making advanced repertoire more accessible and giving your student the confidence to excel in honor bands, solo work, and challenging ensemble pieces.
Book a private appointment with our Instrument Specialists who will help you find the perfect match for your student's unique needs and playing style.
Orchestra
Why should I upgrade?
Why should I upgrade?
As your student advances, their instrument should grow with them. Even subtle upgrades, especially the bow, can make a remarkable difference in tone, control, and confidence. The right bow, whether wood or carbon fiber, can instantly transform your student’s instrument with greater power, responsiveness, and beautiful tone.
If you schedule an appointment at our Selection Event, each appointment includes a one-on-one session with a Schmitt Music String Specialist. You'll receive personalized guidance in finding the perfect instrument match, set up the bridge, and re-hair or balance a bow.
