I am the instrument repair NCO for the 100th Division (Army Reserve) Band at Fort Knox, KY. ALL the instruments used in our band are provided by the Army, unless in the rare instance an instrumentalist has such an attachment to their personal instrument that they're willing to accept responsibility for any damages it might receive as a result of our rather busy travel schedule. The individual players can request particular instruments be purchased for them, but several factors affect whether and when such a purchase is made - seniority, rank, budget constraints, etc. I can say, however, that the VAST majority of our instrument inventory consists of very fine, professional-line instruments.
