Are you willing to sell it... It's a very important instrument.
To be honest, a commission is just the amount you receive."
I feel that this is absolutely true.
It is natural to want to get as high a price as possible when you let go of your instrument because you have cherished it for many years.
And if you receive a much lower offer than you had imagined, you will be disappointed and even feel embarrassed at yourself for having high expectations.
We want to meet your expectations to the best of our ability.
We want to know what you have been thinking about owning, and what you have loved about it.
We find the value of the instrument, which cannot be measured by specifications alone, and pass it on to the next customer.
We do not intend to say anything beautiful.
Regret is always a part of the process of parting with a valuable instrument.
Considering the recent surge in the price of vintage instruments, I have at least once wished that I had not given it up at that time.
Strangely enough, I hear many people say, "I'm glad I bought it!" I hear many people say, "I'm glad I bought it,
I am glad I let go of it! but rarely do we hear, "I'm glad I let it go!
However, even after such regret, we want them to think positively, "I am sure they are being cared for by someone else now, and I hope they are doing well," and we will do our best to make sure that the next customer will love them as well.
The previous owner was a connoisseur and had great instruments."
In order for you to cherish them in this way, we will be confident in our ability to set them up for you.
In order to do so, we would like to have a "heart-to-heart" talk with each other first to find out how we can satisfy the next owner.
Even if it is not an instrument that you want to give up now, we would be happy if you could just ask us "How much will it cost? We are happy to listen to you just to see how much it would be worth.
Please feel free to contact us.
Before my grandfather died, my father told me, 'If you are in trouble, sell this bassoon. When I was sorting through my grandfather's belongings, I remembered that story, and upon doing a little research, I found that it was a valuable instrument.
I contacted various buyers, but most of them said, "It's too old, so we can only sell it at our best," or "It's difficult for us to deal with it," which was far from the response I was expecting.
However, at this store, the first thing they said to me was, "You must not let go of that instrument easily.
When I showed them the instrument, I was really happy not only to hear the appraisal value but also to hear about the memories between me and my grandfather. I truly believe that the staff will be able to connect my grandfather's beloved bassoon to the next generation.
