Is there any reason a jazz teacher would not except this instrument? Would a local music store work on a repair on this instrument?

why not? I don't think the instrument is contaminated :) A jazz teacher should accept any student with a "playable" instrument and the want to learn. Jazz is free form expression. Enjoy.

Not for me. The body developed a crack within a week of playing. I'm not using it anymore because the strings cannot be tuned with the fine tuners, they don't move, it's impossible.

The guitar vendor will send one if contact them. It's well worth a try. My guitar was perfect after I set it all up. Alston has a good reputation for helping customers. Good luck

It will need to be repaired. It is difficult to get parts for it and the warranty work takes a long time. Meanwhile, the rest of the flute class has moved ahead and your child has just sat there and watched. I'm the teacher and it hurts me to watch a child get a flute that I know will not hold up and be easy to maintain.

Mine arrived with corroded strings, so I had to replace them. Also, the action was really high on mine, which required an adjustment by a luthier.

Though i like rock bang-bang music. I DO have to agree. I played rock, jazz, old records and new records and the sound quality is horrible. I am thinking its the needle since its flimsy and unsecured. I am not sure if replacing it (and spending $40) will change the result. :/ any advise would help.

Gregory: I think the free trial is a great idea on Pandora's part- I know that it is worth it to me to continue. Iespecially like how you can create your own stations so easily. Or you can find others that have been seeded for you-Blue Note records has seeded several jazz stations that are fantastic.How will I know when the time is up- will the Pandora simply stop working?Chuck

My daughter uses hers for 7th grade band. The first one, we returned because it was very out of tune. The replacement was great! We did have to get different reeds, as the ones that came with were unplayable.

This is a great violin, but ANY new violin, either a cheap one or an expensive one, needs to be taken to a luthier for adjustments before you can start playing it. A luthier should be able to fix that issue. I took mine to a local luthier (who btw thought this was an excellent violin) and for $20 made several small adjustments (usually the bridge is what requires the most of them) and it has been working and sounding great since then. So my advice, find a luthier and bring it to him.If you don't have an accesible luthier near you, sometimes putting some chalk to the pegs help with the problem (I did that on my previous violin and helped to some degree).Good luck.

When purchased new, the flute is ready to play. Used flutes might need repairs, check the seller's description.

Hello, i repair woodwind instruments and so far was using T-88 only with wood and metal parts. It look like it should work for you too because it has very good quality. May be would be better if you try to find who is making T-88 and send your question directly. Good Luck!

My daughter said that the one I gave to my granddaughter plays music and closes. If you just got yours try contacting amazon. They should replace it. Good luck!!

If I'm understanding what you're saying you can try filing the string slots or remove the nut and try to sand down the back of it or buy and install a new nut. These repairs require experience. If you're not comfortable doing them bring the guitar to someone that is. It's not that expensive. Good luck!

Mine came w/ the white pick guard on it. Is your's used ? If not - call / email the company that sent it. Unless you are inclined to work on your instruments - let them do it or walk you through it - once they send the guard & the correct glue to you (at their expense.) If you correct it, make sure no glue seeps out onto the body - it will mar the finish.

I have not hear of this before. However, being a professor, he may know something technically correct, however it may not be noticable. Our sax has no detectable leaks. And if ALL saxophones leak, then it may not significantly matter if you buy the LJ Hutchen, or a $5000 model. This sax has a lot of value for the $$.

I contacted Loaded Gear. They shipped me one at no charge. Great service. It was my husbands Christmas Gift. Also try a Music Store. Instruments my have the same foam in the cases, guitars, trombones, horns, etc. Or speakers. I hope this helps.

No! We bought this and had to pay $70 to have it repaired and then it broke again. Go to your local music store.
