There are many reasons why it is better to buy used cymbals.
- Cost savings: Used cymbals are typically much cheaper than new cymbals. This is because the initial depreciation has already taken place, so you can get a great deal on a cymbal that is still in good condition.
- Variety: There is a wider variety of used cymbals available than new cymbals. This is because people sell their used cymbals for a variety of reasons, such as upgrading to new cymbals, downsizing their drum kit, or simply not playing anymore. At our Boston location, students often times will need to trade their used cymbals in order to get the new sounds they may need for a new gig or recording needs, new stylistic direction etc.
- Unique sound: Used cymbals often have a unique sound that is not available in new cymbals. This is because the cymbals have been played and worn in, which can give them a more complex and interesting sound.
- Sustainability: Buying used cymbals is a more sustainable way to shop. It reduces the demand for new cymbals, which helps to conserve resources and reduce pollution.
Of course, there are also some potential downsides to buying used cymbals. For example, you may not be able to try out the cymbals before you buy them, so you may not be sure how they will sound. Additionally, there is always a risk that the cymbals may be damaged or in poor condition.
However at the Cymbal Boutique, every used cymbal is inspected carefully and a demo video is quickly added to that specific cymbal listing for those who cannot here it on site. Zoom appointments are now also available.
Here are some tips for buying used cymbals:
- Do your research: Before you start shopping, do some research to learn about different brands and models of cymbals. This will help you narrow down your choices and make an informed decision.
- Inspect the cymbals: When you are shopping for used cymbals, be sure to inspect them carefully. Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks, chips, or dents. You should also listen to the cymbals to make sure that they sound the way you want them to. At the Cymbal Boutique we do that for You!
- Ask questions: If you are not sure about something, be sure to ask the seller questions. They should be able to tell you about the cymbals' history and condition.
