Answer 1

I wouldn't dream of buying a musical instrument without seeing, holding, playing and hearing it, so ebay and such would be a no-starter for me.

There are reputable musical instrument shops in Leeds which offer new and used musical instruments - it's just a matter of looking in Yellow Pages.

You could get good advice from anyone who gives lessons in that instrument. May I also suggest you contact Leeds College of Music (2 Quarry Hill - just around the corner from the West Yorkshire Playhouse - tel [phone] or by email at [e-mail]). It might even be worth dropping in there, as there might well be a notice board with "for sale" ads placed by the students, etc.

Answer 2

I'm not sure about shops because i don't know what is close to you so i looked on ebay and i found these;

Hope this helped and good luck
