If everyone is happy with the quality of the instrument, we will add it to the lineup and order more of these instruments. Again, if there are any reasonable flaws, we go back to the factory and the whole process starts from scratch. These fabulous people check the instrument for playability, pitch, stability, ergonomics, and more. Once we are happy with the sample from a repair technician's point of view, we go to our next testing phase: we have the instrument played by our network of highly experienced players and teachers. If we are unhappy, we go straight back to the factory and order an improved sample. If we are happy, we progress to the next testing phase. After all, we want an instrument that will last, not one that will fall apart after a few weeks. We check the quality of the construction, the plating, the lacquer, the keywork, the pads, the valves, other individual parts, the screws, and pretty much everything else. Every Syrinx instrument we now sell has gone through the same process: we get a sample in first, and then take it completely apart in the repair workshop. You guessed it, we prefer the second option. Furthermore, offer a network of reliable repairers who will look after your instrument, no matter what part of the country you live in. Once happy, sell them at a reasonable price to your customers, thereby offering a decent warranty, great customer service and be there for your customers. Or: buy a few samples of instruments that interest you, test them until wit's end, then make the factory improve them to your standards. Offer no customer service, no warranty, and don't reply to emails. There are two possible scenarios: buy a bunch of instruments at a very cheap price and then sell them at a higher price to unknowing customers. It's the only way to support students and schools in their music making.ģ. And so, we don't mind giving up a bit of our profit to offer you a good quality instrument at a fantastic price. We want parents to rest easy, knowing that they made a safe investment. We want school teachers to be able to tell their students' parents that there IS a cheaper alternative. More importantly though, we want kids to succeed.

That, and we don't want our good reputation to be ruined by selling terrible instruments. We don't want parents to rip their hair (or what's left of it) out because their teacher told them that they 'have to' purchase a $1,600 saxophone. We don't want to see kids giving up on making music because the valves of their super cheap trumpet seize after a month. We operate differently. We operate by one very important ground rule: quality first, money second. Who actually tested the quality of this instrument? What happens if a key snaps off? Can you replace it? More importantly: who will replace it? Most repair technicians we know (and we know many) will not work on any instrument they cannot find spare parts for or cannot guarantee the quality of. Add some clever marketing to that, sell about 500 a year, and you have a nice income. It's easy to make a lot of money in musical instrument sales: find a supplier who will sell you a flute at $26 ( believe us, they exist we actually tried one - and then turned it into a nice artwork.) and sell them at $199 a piece on eBay. You have parents who are reluctant to have their children participate in school music because of the cost involved with purchasing a new instrument (see above!). Your school may be in a lower socio-economic area and your students are keen to play music but simply can't afford it, and your heart breaks for them. We know what it's like: your music budget only stretches so far, but you need to purchase new instruments for your band program. We have years of experience working in the music education sector. We understand teachers: we are teachers too. We understand parents: we understand that you don't want to spend thousands of dollars on a instrument if you are unsure if your child will stick to playing it. We understand students: it's frustrating if your instrument just won't work, and we don't wish that upon anyone. So what sets us apart from the many other offers out there?
