Trial Hire
This scheme available on selected instruments.
When you think of buying an instrument you don't always know what you're in for. A good saxophone, for instance, is not to be purchased lightly. So it seems only fair to let you hire it, up to four months, for just 15% of its purchase price before committing to buy.
If after the hire you decide you weren't made for each other, return it and owe us nothing. Or on the other hand, if you and your woodwind are a team, pay for it. You may opt to spread the balance over the next eight months interest free or pay the balance in which case you could qualify for a 25% discount.
Trevada Music's trial hire scheme offers a huge choice of instruments, so you'll understand why musicians come to us from across the UK.

Tuning Temperaments
How many piano tuning temperaments are there?
There are countless variations, but most fall within three major categories;
1. Meantone, which generally concentrated the dissonance into a few unusable intervals (often called "wolf" intervals), so that the others could be Just. These are often called "restrictive" tunings, since there are certain intervals that are not usable. Good intervals are really good, bad ones are really bad. The Meantone era was approx. 1400-1700
2. Well-Temperament, which gives more consonance to the most often used keys, and more dissonance to the lesser used ones. Though not equal, these tunings are "non-restrictive" because all intervals can be used. The intervals range from Just to barely acceptable. Well-temperament refers to a genre, not a specific tuning. The Well-Tempered era is approx. 1700-1880.
3. Equal Temperament, which spreads the dissonance equally among all intervals.
There is no difference in consonance or dissonance between any keys, thus, there are no good ones or bad ones. Equal temperament represents a complete average. Dates of its acceptance are debated, but there is ample evidence that it was widely available by 1900 and is the predominate tuning on keyboards, today.
