My brother wants a trombone, but it can be hard to get one since our parents got divorced and one of them left work, so we don't have a ton of money anymore. I also love music, but it's hard to keep going when I can't afford the instruments I'm inspired to play.

Musical instruments are essential tools for creativity and personal development. However, high prices make them inaccessible for many families. According to NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants), the average cost of a new trombone ranges from $1,000 to $3,000. This financial barrier prevents countless individuals from experiencing the joy and educational benefits that come with playing an instrument. Did you know that the highest priced/most expensive instrument is 45 million dollars?

Lowering instrument prices would allow more people to buy them and have a good experience like everyone else who can afford it does. Please sign this petition to urge manufacturers and retailers to reduce their prices so that everyone has the opportunity to explore their musical talents!
