I am sure that many teachers would take issue with some of my suggestions. Basically, they will probably work OK for a year or so, but plan on a replacement instrument. A toy-brand woodwind subjected to the rigors of marching band will die a quick and squeaky death. Marching band is the kiss of death for even quality woodwinds. They will not maintain their adjustment, lacquer will wear prematurely, etc.

They will require a lot of adjusting and fiddling with keys to play properly and are not going to be an improvement, or upgrade from what you have not in most cases. They are fine for just messing around or as a novelty horn (I have a cheap pocket trumpet that was bought pretty much for that purpose) but should NOT be a student's main horn. Even the major music retailers now sell instruments that are these basically toy-brand horns. I am designing this list with the intention of finding students the best "bang for their buck" so to speak, and to save them from either languishing on an inferior student level horn, or needlessly spending money on an instrument that may be shiny and new, but is a very poorly made model.

Very few parents, at least in our area, have the financial means to spend thousands on a new instrument for their students. It puts your bid in at the last possible moment to avoid driving the price up, and it's also good for auctions that close at weird hours where you might not want to wait up to put a last minute bid in.

I recently started using an auction sniping service and won a flute for a student at much less than I though I was going to have to pay! It's called EZ sniper auction sniper and its free to use for the first 3 winning auctions. I usually add a buck or so to my max ($301 instead of $300) just in case an earlier bidder bid the same price. Bid your maximum, eBay will automatically set your bid to just enough to win. many bidders purposely wait until the end to prevent being out bid. Bidding wars are common in the last few minutes and I have seen items go up by 50-100% percent in some of these wars.

Also, set your maximum price as far as the maximum that you are willing to spend and stick to it. It is pretty much a given that whatever you are looking at, you can find again if necessary, so don't feel pressured by time to get something before you are really sure about it. The last thing you want to do is bid hastily. read the descriptions, ask the seller questions, scrutinize the photos and request more if you aren't sure.

Honestly, only the oldest or most abused of the horns I have bought needed much work to make them play well. While it does carry the Selmer brand name, it isn't (in my opinion) too much better than the cheaper brands. For the same price, you could find a used flute o a major brand, ONE THOUGHT: the Selmer Prelude brand isn't of particularly great quality. While it will probably function reasonably well, the metal is weak and keys will bend easily, and the finish will probably wear very quickly. Here is an example of a no name flute auction. My best advice on any instrument purchase, in general, is to avoid the cheapest of ANYTHING you find, assume anything you buy that is not of a major brand will not last very long and will probably need repair or replacement within a year or two. Actually, a lot of the name-brand instruments are made in these countries as well, but under much higher quality-control standards. I feel it is better to know the brands you should try to buy, and assume any brand not on the list (if it's a new instrument especially) is one of the "el cheapo" instruments cranked out en mass in China, Indonesia, India or wherever. Brands to Avoid: Honestly, the names on the real cheapo horns change so much a good list would be hard to compile.
