Question 1

How do I resell my instrument to you?

Accepted Answer

We offer a "Dépôt-vente" service. First, we appraise your instrument to determine its value and the interest it might generate among our musicians. Then, we discuss the selling price and any necessary repairs. Once the contract is signed, we offer the instrument for trial if it meets a client's search criteria.

Question 2

What should I do if my consignment instrument doesn't sell?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes an instrument doesn't find a buyer immediately. When this happens, we are available to advise you on other possible options.

Question 3

How long does it take to sell an instrument ?

Accepted Answer

The time it takes for your instrument to find a buyer doesn't follow a specific pattern. Market prices, the reputation of its manufacturer, and the sonic characteristics of your instrument are all factors that make its appeal a constantly evolving value. Furthermore, buying an instrument is a complex process, influenced by each musician's personal preferences, and the sale is therefore dependent on these preferences. We strive to always offer your instrument when it is relevant to our clients' searches, but we cannot guarantee a precise sales timeframe.
