Instruments In Stock
This section contains all instruments currently in our store. These include consignment used instruments, store owned used instruments, and new instruments that are currently in stock. Photos listed will always be of the specific serial number that is for sale. If you have consigned an instrument with us and do not see it here, it is likely either working it's way through our repair shop, or it has sold. Feel free to call for the current status.
Instrument Catalogue
Our Instrument Catalogue is a comprehensive list of the instruments we can order for you. We make this available so that you have the ability to pre-order your desired models, and do research as to the specs and other information pertinent to choosing an instrument. We will continue to update and add information as we are able to compile it, in hopes that you will benefit from this and be able to utilize us as a resource.
Special Orders
Any item notated as “Special Order” will have to be ordered from the manufacturer. Special order items are horns that aren’t in our normal store assortment, but can easily and quickly be ordered. We make this a hassle free experience. Most of the time we will have the instrument drop-shipped from the manufacturer to your home. In this case, we do not take returns of items deemed Special Order unless there is a manufacturer warranty issue that needs to be addressed. If an instrument/item is backordered for more than two weeks from the time the order was placed, we will call you to verify. If you don’t receive a backorder notification, expect to see the horn in two weeks or less.
Instrument/Mouthpiece Trial Policy
We are all players who expect to be able to test instruments before we buy them, so we feel it's only fair to pass that expectation along to our customers
7-Day Trial Period:
All instruments/accessories must be paid in full before they will be shipped or permitted to leave the store for a trial period. If an instrument/accessory is returned there will be a sanitization fee (varies per instrument) and a restocking fee charged (10% for mouthpieces, 3% for instruments). THERE ARE NO RETURNS OR TRIALS ON SPECIAL ORDERS.
If an instrument is returned, the customer is responsible for shipping both directions, regardless of shipping promotions. Please call to inform us of your intent to return the instrument(s). Please take note of how we packed the instrument. Keep all packing materials and the box as this will be very helpful (and cheaper for you) should you need to make a return. Re-pack the instrument exactly how you received it to ensure safe shipment. Consider insurance – you are responsible for all damage and resulting devaluation of the instrument(s) in addition to the 10% or 3% restocking and cleaning fees. Please send us associated tracking information for returns.
Consignment Agreement
Our consignments work as follows. Instruments will be listed for sale as soon as possible. The consignee retains 80% of the sale price minus any repairs or cleanings that may need to occur. Items selling for $300 or less are subject to a consignment fee of 30%. Again, any repairs or cleaning costs will be deducted from the consignee's 80%. Payment to consignee will be made within 14 days of the sale. We reserve the right to accept or decline any instrument(s) for consignment. All instruments will be checked by the repair shop for needed repairs and cleaning before being put on the website and sales floor. This could take up to two weeks.
Shipping
Tubas ship via freight. All other instruments are shipped via UPS and accessories are generally sent via USPS. We are doing everything we can to help you save money on shipping but please know that in our brave new world, shipping times can be unpredictable. Freight shipments going to residential and educational institution addresses are always accompanied by extra charges
Tips for saving money on tuba shipments:
- Ship to a commercial address with a loading dock.
- Ship to the nearest freight company depot near your home and pick up the tuba there.
