Most of the time when people go to buy a second hand woodwind instrument, they don’t know what to check for while inspecting the instrument. Here are some things you should check;

1. The first thing you should do is decide what you really want. Take a few things like your budget, proficiency level, and knowledge into consideration. Make sure you know what you want before you begin your search.
2. Physical Condition: Look for any signs of damage such as cracks, dents, or corrosion. Check all parts of the instrument including the keys, pads, and joints.
3. Sound Quality: Test the instrument to make sure it produces a clear and stable tone. Listen for any issues such as leaks or strange noises.
4. Intonation: Make sure the instrument is in tune and that notes sound accurate and in-pitch.
5. Mechanics: Check the keys and mechanisms to ensure they move smoothly and respond quickly.
6. Maintenance: Ask about the instrument’s maintenance history, including when it was last serviced and if any repairs have been made.
7. Accessories: Make sure the instrument comes with all the necessary accessories such as a mouthpiece, reeds, and case.
8. Brand & Model: Research the brand and model of the instrument to understand its features and reputation. This can help you determine if it is a good fit for your needs.
