BAILEY BAND MATERIALS Students cannot learn or play successfully without the proper materials.

A noticeable improvement can be heard in the quality of sound produced. Such a purchase is often a more economical option to buying a new instrument and provides a step to making a commitment to purchasing a step-up instrument. A step-up or professional instrument with a cheap mouthpiece will sound like a cheap instrument. A beginning instrument can sound like a better quality instrument with a step-up mouthpiece.
