If you are planning to play in a community band, i have got a question.
Where I live ( the Netherlands) it is quite normal for a community band to provide their players in a suitable instruments, if you want and can afford better, you can buy it, but if you don't, they'll suply.
Is this the situation where you come from too, or is it something rare.
If it is common, why not join a community band, use their supplied instrument and meanwhile save for a good instrument of your own?

-------------------------------

In the US, the community band does not supply the instruments. Some of the members happen to be school instructors and are allowed to borrow those instruments in the summer for community bands but in general the players bring their personal instruments, even the bassoons and tubas as the band doesn't own any of these. It is fairly common for the bands to own the percussion instruments for some reason though. The sheet music is owned by the band also.
