”Many musicians and music tutors will say that playing in a band and practicing regularly with other musicians, regardless of their skill level or ability is one of the best ways of developing your own musical skills. You will learn so much about timing, song structures, training your ears etc… And most of all you’ll more than likely have a blast doing it! But like every band, be it Iron Maiden, or that band that plays in the local pub every 3rd Friday of each month… they all had to start somewhere, and starting off can be a daunting task for many. It doesn’t matter how good you are at playing your instrument, how amazing your ideas are or how passionate you are about your Music, there are always going to be a few stumbling blocks on your road to success.“





advice on buying a musical instrument

Don’t always assume that new instruments are always going to be better than buying second hand. Sometimes a second hand instrument will have been professionally setup, whereas a new instrument may come in flawless conditionstraight from the factory but in need of a professional setup. Whilst it is possible to purchase a really good second hand instrument, be careful. If the price seems very low, ask the seller questions about its condition, history etc. It’s all too easy to get excited when you discover a second hand drum kit selling for £100, then to find out the bass drum is split and it will cost more to fix than the price of the kit itself!

When including photographs of your item, don’t be tempted to just copy and paste an image from the internet unless you really have no way of taking your own photographs. If you are able to take photos, make sure the pictures are well lit so to clearly demonstrate the condition of the item, and try to ensure the background in your photograph is uncluttered so as not to distract the buyer from the item you’re actually selling. So don’t photograph the acoustic guitar you are selling, when it is sat in it’s stand next to two other acoustic guitars!
