There are some concerto competitions around the country that give out $1,000-$2,000 for summer camps or instrument purchase. But–you have to win the competition, and you have to win more than one in order to purchase an expensive instrument off of mainly scholarships.

I know that with woodwinds, one would normally buy a used instrument in order to save on costs. I’m sorry but I don’t know how that would work with a double bass.
