I have an instrument from another shop…can I trade that in?
We will consider trade-ins not purchased from us on an individual basis.

Are there fine tuners on the instruments?
We can add fine tuners to the instrument you choose to purchase at no additional charge.
What about insurance?
Upon purchase of your new instrument please contact your home owner’s insurance agent and inquire about obtaining a “no deductible insurance rider” for your instrument. This will save you much unnecessary grief and heartache if an accident were to occur.
