Tariffs are raising the cost of school music instruments

Reported · Written up by our desk · Trade & Tariffs

The New York Times reports that tariffs are driving up prices for band and orchestra instruments, putting pressure on limited school budgets.

According to the outlet, individual instruments can cost about $1,000 for a cello and about $9,000 for a tuba, making it harder for schools to afford music programs.
