"Honestly, with outsourcing, it's all about the payment amount, right?"
I completely agree.

Instrument Consignment Sales
Do they even want to sell it... It's such an important instrument.
And if you're offered far less than you imagined, it's disappointing and can even make you feel embarrassed about your own expectations.
We strive to meet our customers' expectations to the greatest extent possible.
We want to understand the feelings behind your ownership, what you found appealing and cherished about it.
We seek to discover the value that lies beyond mere specifications—the unique worth inherent to that instrument—and pass it on to the next owner.
I'm not here to sugarcoat things.
Regret is inevitable when parting with a precious instrument.
Considering the recent surge in vintage instrument prices, we've all thought at least once, "I wish I hadn't let that go."
Strangely enough, while I often hear people say, "I'm so glad I bought it!",
I almost never hear someone say, "I'm glad I sold it!"
However, even after such regrets, I want you to think positively: "I'm sure someone else is cherishing it now, I wonder how it's doing?" That's why I work hard to ensure the next owner will love it too.
"The previous owner had excellent taste—what a wonderful instrument they had!"
To ensure it's cherished, we'll set it up with confidence so we can introduce it to you.
To achieve this, we'd like to start by having a frank discussion about how we can best satisfy the next owner.
Even if you're not ready to part with your instrument now, feel free to ask, "Just how much might it be worth?"
Feel free to consult with us anytime.
My grandfather told my father before he passed away, 'If you ever find yourself in trouble, sell this bassoon.' While sorting through my grandfather's belongings, I remembered that conversation. After doing a little research, I realized it was a valuable instrument.
I contacted various dealers, but most responded with things like, "Given its age, this is the best we can offer," or "We don't handle instruments like this," which was far from what I had hoped for.
However, at this particular shop, the very first thing they said was, "You absolutely shouldn't part with that instrument lightly."
When I showed them the instrument, they didn't just give an appraisal—they listened to my memories with my grandfather. It truly made me happy. I wholeheartedly trust that the staff here will pass on the bassoon my grandfather loved to its next owner.
