ALREADY OWN AN INSTRUMENT?
If you already own an instrument, that’s great! To ensure you have the best experience, I recommend using an instrument that is mechanically sound. Join us for Bootcamp Only ($600) if you have an instrument.
WANT TO BUY YOUR OWN INSTRUMENT?
That’s great! Below are some recommendations. ⚠️PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS⚠️ A Note on "ISOs" (Instrument Shaped Objects) You may see very colorful or extremely cheap instruments (under $200-400) online. These are known as ISOs (Instrument Shaped Objects). While they look like flutes, and they do work for a short period of time, they are often made of materials that cannot be adjusted or repaired by local shops, and will not last you long enough to create real music. To avoid frustration, I strongly recommend sticking to the professional brands listed below so your focus stays on making music, not fighting a broken tool. If it seems too good to be true, it is! Make sure you have the best experience by getting an instrument that is mechanically sound.
