To find musical supply and accessory stores close to you, look in a local phone book or search the Internet. Get directions so you can easily find the store even in an area you don't often visit. Call for store hours if they aren't listed in the phone book or online. If you're looking for a specific item, such as a stand, pick, new strings, or a strap you can also call before visiting and see if they will hold an item for you. Visiting the store in person will let you see their selection of acoustic, bass, and electric guitars, any string or wind instruments they offer, as well as drum sets. If you already have the main instrument but need certain accessories for it, such as drum sticks, guitar strings, cleaning supplies, an amplifier, microphone, pick, or mouthpiece you may be offered discounts on certain items if you visit during a sale. Cheap used options are available at many stores to give you a more budget-friendly price. Capos for guitars, cymbals, tuners, and pedals are found in various brands and prices. Shop around to find the best equipment available with the best price. Cleaning kits, horns, brass instruments, percussion sets, and cases should be researched before deciding on which to buy. Look for customer reviews to find which the better option is. Talk to an employee at a musical supply and accessory store to get a better idea on what to buy. Equipment can be expensive, especially when you need more than one, such as stands or amplifiers. See if you can get a discount if you buy a certain amount from the same store.
