"Niche manufacturers areOkubo GakkiThis is our specialty. It's a brand known to those in the know, and the instruments possess incredible potential. However, many music stores have no sales record, making it difficult to assess and resulting in them not offering aggressive purchase prices. But it's one of our regular brands. The customer was very satisfied with the purchase price.

「Okubo GakkiThis is a car that was purchased from us. The customer initially consulted us about trading it in, but it wasn't because they disliked their previous car; rather, they were so captivated by the charm of the Lotus they had purchased that they wanted to upgrade. We took it in as a trade-in for a Lotus Classic.

"This is a unique trumpet from an American private workshop, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship that will appeal to enthusiasts. Both the number produced and the number imported into Japan are small, making it highly rare, and most retailers in Japan have never handled it before. This is also..."Okubo GakkiSince it's a brand with a strong sales record, we can offer you a price that you'll be happy with.

"This brand first gained popularity with its trombones, but its trumpets have also earned high praise and popularity. This particular instrument is a model designed for use in big bands and similar settings. Because our customers are primarily in the popular and jazz music scenes, we were able to offer a high price for this instrument."

Comment from the person in charge
"Specialized instruments like piccolo trumpets tend to be taken out of their cases less often after a concert. The client had kept theirs for over 10 years but no longer had the opportunity to use it, so they considered selling it. They contacted our shop for advice. Although there were some non-functional parts, discolored plating, and a missing bell, we were able to purchase it at full price."

"E♭Many D-key trumpets are not used very often, so they tend to be stored away in their cases after performances, and this was the case with the client. They thought that because they didn't use it often, it would be difficult to sell, but the opposite was true. Because of its infrequent use, there is high demand for used trumpets, and we were able to purchase it at a price far exceeding the client's expectations.

Kühn T053C/GP C-key Trumpet
Purchase price

Comment from the person in charge
"The trumpet was purchased about 25 years ago. After leaving the orchestra he belonged to, he no longer had a chance to use it, and it had been stored in its case for nearly 10 years. There was some discoloration of the plating and malfunction of the moving parts, but considering the rising price of rotary trumpets, we purchased it for a price higher than the initial estimate."

Mr./Ms. N from Tokyo
"I was thinking of selling it on an online auction, but it needed cleaning and maintenance to get a good price. I was worried about the repair costs and time involved, so I requested an appraisal, and the purchase price was higher than I expected. It was definitely the right decision to consult them."

"I requested appraisals from several places, but when I told them my desired price..."consignment"They responded in a very positive way. I was in a hurry and needed a lump sum of money, so I was about to give up, but they gave me an appraisal that was very close to what I wanted, and I received confirmation of the deposit the next day.

Mr./Ms. O from Osaka Prefecture
"Everywhere I took it, they'd say it was rare, but it was far from what I was hoping for. I was disappointed, realizing that overly niche instruments are just not suitable for trade-in. I had an opportunity to go to Tokyo, so I contacted several instrument shops there. Among them, one offered a significantly higher appraisal estimate."Okubo GakkiI brought it in there. I was surprised by the appraisal amount, which was about the estimated amount plus the cost of transportation. It was well worth the trip from far away.

Mr./Ms. Y from Okayama Prefecture
"The instrument was over 40 years old and in poor condition, and it was from a relatively unknown manufacturer of rotary trumpets, so local and Kansai music stores said they couldn't even buy it. I inquired using the easy estimate service on this website, and they said they could buy it and that I wouldn't have to pay for shipping, so I sent it over. They bought it at the estimated price they had given me."
