Suzuki Band Instruments

Every Suzuki Band and Orchestral Instrument is carefully packaged to ensure that it arrives safe and undamaged. Follow these simply step by step instructions to properly unpack your new Suzuki instrument. We suggest you keep the outer shipping carton, the color box and foam end caps in the event it becomes necessary to re-ship your Suzuki instrument.

(Note: In creating this page, a Clarinet was used for demonstrating how to unpack your instrument. Every instrument will use the Clarinet as an example of how you should unpack your instrument. The flute will just be smaller, the trumpet, alto sax and violin).
