Recommended Instrument Supplies
This list is intended to be a starting point - there are many more options out there than what I’ve listed, feel free to check with me if you have any questions. Please do try to shop from a music specialty store (Quinlan & Fabish, Horn Stash, PM Music Center, and Ellman’s Music have many of these products locally, I also recommend Hickey’s Music) instead of a mass retailer. Expertise is worth supporting!
