Step-up and performance instruments
Help your students advance their musical journey with top-tier intermediate and professional instruments. Explore our expansive showroom selection in Lakewood, Colorado, featuring leading brands, bespoke workshop strings, and flexible low-payment rent-to-own options.
Instrument tiers designed for growth
When a dedicated student outgrows their beginner model, advancing to a step-up or performance instrument unlocks richer tone, nuanced dynamic control, and greater artistic expression. Discover our three tailored paths to performance ownership.
Woodwinds and brass
Featuring premium concert models from Yamaha, Jupiter, and Buffet. Available for flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, oboe, and French horn with enhanced keywork and superior acoustic resonance.
Custom shop strings
Finely crafted classic violins, violas, cellos, and basses from Eastman alongside hand-carved instruments sourced from small European and boutique luthier workshops for unmatched warmth and projection.
Easy rent-to-own
Address cost concerns with customizable, low monthly payments. Every rental payment builds equity toward full purchase, complemented by deep cash-purchase discounts and complimentary local delivery.
