What is a Beginner Return Instrument? [top]
Beginner Return Instruments have been used for approximately 6 months or less. They are called "Beginner Returns" because initially they were New and we received them back from the customer as their student either discontinued band, or, decided to play a different instrument.
  • These instruments are in excellent condition with only minor finish blemishes.
  • Each instrument is completely cleaned, adjusted and shop tested to perform as new.

What brands do you sell? [top]
Our company sells only quality, nationally known, name brand instruments.

Because of manufacturers' advertising restrictions, we are unable to list some brands & models with a price. Therefore, many of our models are listed simply as "Major Brand". We are an authorized dealer for over 50 major brand manufacturers including Selmer, Bach, Conn, King, Armstrong, Gemeinhardt, Ludwig, Pearl and many more.
