When your instrument arrives with us , it will be inspected by an expert technician who will assess the overall condition of the instrument.
After this, we will be in touch to discuss sale price. Customers purchasing an item from us expect it to arrive in good condition and ready to play, so all instruments will be serviced prior to sale, and If the instrument needs repairs or other attention we will do the work required as we see fit to best effect the successful sale of your item. We will deduct the cost of any workshop expenses from the final sale price of your item. ie you do not have to pay until after the sale.
