What We Need to Sell Your Clarinet
First, we will need a detailed description of the professional clarinet you’d like to sell. You can submit your inquiry below. Be sure to include the serial number and year it was made and your history with the instrument. If you know what you want the instrument to sell for, please include that as well; otherwise, we can discuss it together. Once we have received your email, we will discuss if the clarinet you want to sell is a match for any of our clients and its expected time to sell.
What We Want to Sell
We are interested in selling used Bb’s, A’s, Eb’s, C’s, D’s, Alto, Bass and ContraBass Clarinets. Used clarinets that have never cracked, usually sell for a higher price and more quickly. Any clarinet that is cracked will sell for significantly less and take longer to sell.
Professional clarinets are the only type of used instruments we resell. We sell them only in perfect mechanical condition and you will need to expect us to put it into that level of condition and deduct it from the price, in order to sell it. The level of its mechanical condition must meet our standards as our customers have come to expect a very high quality level from Lisa’s Clarinet Shop. Instruments that are in excellent mechanical condition however, usually sell more quickly and command a higher price as well.
Our expert repair technician will look over the clarinet. If the clarinet requires repair, we will notify you at the time of intake what will be deducted when the instrument sells.
