Consignments

 

We happily take many instruments on consignment where we can offer a value-add. Not sure if your horn is a good match? Email us and we can help! For consignment sales, you receive 80% of the final sale price (less shipping and fees) for horns sold over $5500, 75% of final sale price (less shipping and fees) for horns that sell for over $1600 and at/under $5499, and 70% of the final sale price (less shipping and fees) for horns that sell below $1600. Payments will be made by PayPal (preferred), Venmo, or bank-issued check 2-4 weeks after the sale (and trial) are finalized. 

Ready to send your horn in? Email Us for a consignment contract! Please be sure to include photos of  your horn and the model/make/serial number in the email. Be sure to provide your contact information in the email.

 

When shipping your trumpet to us be sure to include a signed copy of the contract.
For shipping a trumpet, the best way to do it is without a case as follows:
1) Tie the slides shut with a hairband or twist tie.
2) Wrap it three times lengthwise (from bell to receiver) in bubble wrap and tape that down.
3) Wrap it once widthwise (parallel to valves) in bubble wrap and tape it down. You now have a little bubble wrap "burrito" and the horn is very secure.
4) Fill a 12x12x24 box 1/3 of the way up with packing peanuts.
5) Set the horn in the box and cover with packing peanuts. You should be able to shake the box without hearing anything move if you've used enough peanuts.
6) Insure for the full amount you paid so you're protected in shipping.
7) Ship to us at

8) If applicable, send the case in a separate box to the same address. 

 

If you have to ship the horn in the case, the best way to do it is as follows:
1) Tie the slides shut with a hairband or twist tie.
2) Pack the horn in the case and use bubble wrap around the bell to ensure the horn has extra protection. 
3) Fill a 12x12x24 box 1/3 of the way up with packing peanuts.
4) Set the case in the box and cover with packing peanuts. You should be able to shake the box without hearing anything move if you've used enough peanuts.
5) Insure for the full amount you paid so you're protected in shipping.
