OUR PHILOSOPHY
Every instrument sold by Wind Instrument Proshop is personally inspected and set up by our repair technician before it ships. We do not sell instruments new in box — every instrument leaves our hands in its best possible playing condition.
OUR COMMUNITY
Wind Instrument Proshop organizes three annual events — Clarinet Day, Flute Day and Saxophone Day — bringing together local professional musicians, leading manufacturers and players of all levels for a full day of masterclasses, clinics, performances and product showcases. These events are free to attend and open to everyone. They reflect our broader mission — to build an infrastructure that supports musicians in Alberta and provides opportunities and insight to pursue music both professionally and as a lifelong passion.
