  The instruments are ready and waiting for loving new home

There are some fantastic pre-loved bargains to be had on a host of fantastic instruments. All you have to do is get in touch…

All instruments have been given a full professional overhaul. All major dents have been removed, but given that they have all enjoyed good homes, the little superficial blemishes are still on show.

All have been safely chemically cleaned and are presented in pristine condition with a 2 year guarantee, although not on the lacquer or silver finish itself.
