Yamaha has announced that as part of its Step Up to Yamaha promotion—now in its 11th year—customers, through December 31, can receive $50 or $100 rebates (via a Visa Gift Card) on qualifying Yamaha wind and string instruments during the holiday season when they purchase a new instrument from a participating Step Up to Yamaha dealer. Customers can submit rebate forms online or via mail.
Many students make the mistake of buying the least-expensive instrument they can find. This generally makes it harder to play and introduces obstacles that no beginning musician should have to contend with. The program is designed to encourage music students to visit their local Yamaha music dealer, which can explain the features on step up instruments and help musicians find the right model to help them improve their skills.
“As student musicians progress, their instruments will need to grow with them,” said Roger Eaton, Director of Marketing, Band & Orchestral Division, Yamaha Corp. of America. “Yamaha’s step-up models accomplish this with their features, design and overall playability, all of which aid an advancing student with his or her musical growth.”
