"This was a unit originally purchased from our store several years ago. We gave maximum consideration to the rising market value of vintage items and the fact it was previously sold at Okubo Gakki. We repurchased it at 80% of the original selling price."

"Niche manufacturers are Okubo Gakki's specialty.It's a brand known only to those in the know, and it's an instrument with tremendous potential. However, since many music stores lack sales experience with it, they find it difficult to assess and are reluctant to offer aggressive buyback prices. For us, it's one of our regular brands. The customer was satisfied with the buyback amount."

"This was one of the vehicles purchased at Okubo Gakki. While it was initially a trade-in consultation, it wasn't because they were dissatisfied. Rather, they had fallen in love with the charm of the Lotus they purchased and wanted to upgrade. We accepted it as a trade-in for their upgrade to a Lotus Classic."

"This is a uniquely expressive trumpet crafted in an American artisan workshop, featuring meticulous attention to detail that appeals to enthusiasts. Both production volume and domestic availability are low, making it highly rare. However, most retailers in Japan have never handled this brand. Since Okubo Gakki has extensive sales experience with this brand, we can offer a price you'll find satisfactory."

"While this brand first gained prominence with its trombones, its trumpets have also earned high praise and popularity. This particular instrument is a model designed for use in big bands and similar settings. As our store serves many customers active in the popular and jazz scenes, we were able to purchase it at a high appraisal value."

"Specialty instruments like piccolo trumpets tend to stay in their cases after concerts. The seller had stored this one for over 10 years with no opportunity to use it, so they considered selling it and consulted our store.Although it had been stored for a long time, resulting in some parts not functioning, plating discoloration, and the loss of the attached bell, we were able to purchase it at full appraisal value."

"E♭/D trumpets are also rarely used, so many owners simply store them in their cases after performances. This client was no exception.You might think, 'Since I rarely use it, will it be hard to sell?' But it's the opposite. Precisely because it's used infrequently, the demand for used ones is high. That's why we were able to purchase it at a valuation far exceeding your expectations."

"Purchased about 25 years ago. After leaving the orchestra I belonged to, I had no opportunity to use it, and it had been stored in its case for nearly the last decade. While there was some tarnishing on the plating and issues with the moving parts, considering the rising prices of rotary trumpets, we purchased it at a price above the initial appraisal estimate."

"I was considering selling it on an online auction, but it needed cleaning and maintenance to get a good price. I was hesitant about the repair costs and time involved... but when I requested an appraisal, the purchase price was higher than expected. Consulting them was definitely the right choice."

"Everywhere I took it, people said it was rare, but the offers were nowhere near my asking price. I was disappointed, thinking overly niche instruments just aren't suitable for resale. When I had a chance to go to Tokyo, I contacted several music stores there. I took it to Okubo Gakki, who offered a significantly higher appraisal estimate than the others. I was shocked when they offered an appraisal amount that was about the same as the estimate plus my travel expenses.It was worth the trip from far away."

"It was an instrument over 40 years old in poor condition, and since it was a minor manufacturer for rotary trumpets, local and Kansai music stores said they couldn't buy it at all. I inquired using the simple quote form on your website and was told they could buy it and I wouldn't have to pay shipping, so I sent it. They bought it at the estimated price I received beforehand."
