Music & Arts announces the Spring 2017 schedule for its acclaimed “Upgrade Your Sound” event tour.

This popular, free event invites students, musicians, educators and parents to test drive a very wide assortment of woodwind, brass and string instruments, speak with instrument specialists from major brands, and receive discounts and special financing offers from Music & Arts all under one roof. 

From April through the end of May, the tour will visit multiple cities across the U.S. and will include two event series: Horns of Plenty events will offer a large selection of woodwind and brass instruments, while String Showcase events will offer orchestral instruments. Guests can also consult with instrument specialists from Music & Arts and top brands like Yamaha, Bach, Giardinelli, Conn-Selmer, Buffet, Fox, Eastman, Strobel, Howard Core, Vandoren, Rico and more. Participants can sign up online to request brands and models they would like to try at the event. View all dates and RSVP here.

It’s an engaging, fun and educational experience that addresses a variety of musical scenarios and needs.”
