So your child is starting beginner band next year, where to start? Here’s a few reasons why Tatum Music should be your store of choice:
The REAL Band Director Recommended Instruments
Like most things, band instruments are made by a variety of manufacturers, and are not all of the same quality. Your band director has likely given you a list of name brands to choose from, so why buy from a website that doesn’t tell you what you’re getting? Also, since we provide school services to area bands, we’ve talked directly to YOUR band directors to know what they recommend. And Tatum Music only carries the top quality brands like Conn-Selmer, Yamaha, and Pearl.
Shorter Terms = Cheaper in the Long Run!
Other companies might lure you in with super-low payments, but if your child stays in band (and that’s the goal, right?) you could be paying those for 4 to 8 years (80-90 payments!) At Tatum Music, most of our contracts are paid off in 18 months or less, with no penalty for early payoff.
No Complicated “Trade-in” Plans
At Tatum Music, what you see is what you get. There’s no complicated process if you want to keep your instrument, just pay it off and it’s yours! And, the instrument your child starts with is a quality name-brand instrument that will last them all through high school and beyond. There’s no need or requirement to upgrade with a Tatum Music horn.
60 Day Trial Period – Either Way You Buy
You can save 20% on a new instrument at Tatum Music if you choose to pay in full– and you still get the 60 Day Trial Period, just like the Rental Purchase Plan. If you aren’t completely satisfied, return the instrument for a refund of the purchase price minus the Rental Purchase down payment. 60 Days to try it out, for the same price as if you had done the Rental Purchase Plan.
