I really appreciate that you buy just bridges and parts. I thought you only took whole guitars, but you gave me a solid appraisal even for individual parts. It helped me clean out my storage too—killing two birds with one stone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Other Instruments
Questions We Often Receive from Customers
【Japanese Instruments】
Q1. Can you buy old shamisen I used for practice, or a koto passed down from my grandmother?
A1. Yes, we can purchase them. Scratches from practice or older instruments are not a problem. Our specialists will examine the wood type (like karin or redwood) and intricate details to determine value.
Q2. Can I sell accessories like picks, cases, and sheet music together?
A2. Yes, please bring them along. Picks made from materials like ivory or tortoiseshell, and dedicated cases, are especially eligible for high-value purchases. Having all accessories together increases the appraisal value.
【World Ethnic Instruments】
Q3. Can you appraise rare instruments like djembes, kalimbas, or sitars?
A3. Yes, leave it to us. Our staff possesses extensive knowledge of various ethnic instruments from Asia, Africa, South America, and around the world. We carefully determine the instrument's origin and value.
Q4. I received an ethnic instrument as a souvenir, but I don't really know what kind of instrument it is...
A4. Yes, we welcome such instruments too. Please let us take a look first. Even if you don't know the details, we will identify the instrument's type and value and offer you a fair price.
【Synthesizers & Recording Equipment】
Q5. Can I sell a synthesizer with one non-functioning key or a microphone with a slight crackling sound?
A5. Yes, we can purchase them. Minor issues may be repairable by our repair department. Even if repair is difficult, we can sometimes evaluate their value as parts, so please consult us.
Q6. Can you buy old analog synths or just cables?
A6. Yes, absolutely. Vintage analog synthesizers especially can command high valuations due to their rarity. If you bring in microphone cables or patch cables together, we'll add to the appraisal value.
Q7. Is the appraisal free?
A7. Yes, appraisals are completely free. You can also cancel after the appraisal.
Q8. Do you buy old instruments?
A8. Yes, we purchase instruments in good condition regardless of their age.
Q9. Can you buy it even if it doesn't have accessories?
A9. We can buy it even without accessories, but it may affect the appraisal value.
Q10. What areas do you cover for in-home appraisals?
A10. We primarily cover the Kanto region, but depending on the situation, we can visit anywhere from Hokkaido to Okinawa, and even overseas. There is no charge for travel expenses.
Q11. What are the maximum and minimum purchase prices?
A11. We can provide a rough estimate if you send us the instrument's details and photos beforehand.
Q12. Can you take broken instruments (even if they're worth nothing)?
A12. Please provide details about the instrument, and we can inform you if we can take it.
Q13: Do I need an appointment?
A13: No appointment is necessary. You are welcome anytime during business hours.
