"This trumpet was originally sold by our store over 10 years ago. We deeply appreciated the owner's decision to return it to us, having carefully maintained it with a re-plating after purchase.We evaluated the increasing rarity of this brand and its excellent condition, and repurchased it at a valuation significantly exceeding its original sale price."

Staff Comment
"This is a model cherished by a popular jazz player who passed away young. We learned the previous owner was also a devoted fan.It showed no major issues or accidents, and the affection for it was evident. Since it's a model without lacquer finish, rust and discoloration had progressed, but we appraised it at full value without any negative deductions."

Staff Comment
"Although there was a repair on the bell tip and some scratches, there were no major issues, and it was maintained in player's condition.Since the seller was aiming to become a professional player, we advised them not to decide immediately and to carefully consider whether it was still a necessary tool going forward. Ultimately, they entrusted it to our store."

Staff Comment
"When you first acquired this flute, you were captivated by its rich, resonant sound. However, as you've aged, playing it has become somewhat challenging.The customer consulted us about trading it in for a handmade flute from our inventory with completely opposite characteristics. We took it in trade at 10% above our standard buyback price."

Staff Comment
"The client purchased this over 30 years ago with their first bonus. Immediately after, a job transfer took them away from playing. After marriage, it remained stored at their parents' home.Now approaching retirement, they tried pulling out the trumpet to start playing again but found it unexpectedly difficult. They inquired about other instruments they might be able to play. We directed them to the floor handling acoustic guitars (Advance Guitars), which they listed as a potential instrument they'd like to try. They took home a guitar with a 10% trade-in bonus, requiring no additional payment."

Staff Comment
"The customer mentioned they only used it for a few years after purchasing it New back then! However, it actually showed age-appropriate scratches, paint peeling, and pad deterioration from years of use.It seemed the client had mistakenly confused it with another instrument they owned, but we didn't dwell on that point. Instead, we thoroughly inspected the instrument's condition and provided the best possible appraisal. The offered price seemed more favorable than other shops, and the client was satisfied."

Staff Comment
"Mother and daughter visited our store together. She played trombone in the wind ensemble club throughout middle and high school.After graduation, she drifted away from playing and it had been stored away. However, as she is getting married, she was sorting through items at her parents' home. The trombone was a gift from her parents to celebrate her high school entrance, and the daughter seemed reluctant to part with it. Her mother encouraged her, saying, 'It's better if someone else uses it, and you (daughter) will need the money.'"

Staff Comment
"The client played in the wind ensemble throughout middle and high school.During university, they were dedicated to playing in an orchestra. After marriage, they drifted away from the clarinet and rarely opened the case. This time, they inquired about using the funds as a gift for their husband's retirement celebration. They were disheartened after being told elsewhere that such an old clarinet wouldn't fetch a price, so they were very pleased!"

Mr./Ms. N, Tokyo
"I used it as my main instrument for over 20 years. We shared so many gigs together that I grew especially attached to it. But after getting a new partner a few years ago, I rarely played it anymore, and that bothered me.Due to the nature of my work, which involved many outdoor performances, it had accumulated scratches and paint chips. However, I heard it would be thoroughly serviced before being passed on to the next player, so I could send it off with peace of mind."

Aichi Prefecture, Ms. Y
"During my student days, my life revolved around playing the oboe—I poured my passion into it. But after graduation, my circumstances changed drastically, and I drifted away from playing.Every time I opened the case, those passionate feelings from back then would come flooding back. At the same time, it became painful to just keep it stored away unused, which is why I came to consult you this time. As I talked about the teacher who chose this instrument for me and the emotions I felt during concerts, tears welled up unexpectedly. But seeing the staff listening with gentle nods helped me make the decision to part with it."

Miyagi Prefecture, Customer O
"I bought the trumpet I'd always wanted to try playing for Okubo Gakki. It's even more fun than my main instrument, the Bass, and I've gotten so hooked I practice every day. However, my main Bass developed a major problem requiring significant repair costs.I felt conflicted about consulting the shop that helped me with the purchase, but the staff handled it kindly. They listened carefully to the situation. So, when I buy my next trumpet, I'd like to ask them again."

Kanagawa Prefecture, Mr./Ms. M
"These were my father's belongings. Someone in the music industry I know well recommended this place (Okubo Gakki), saying, 'There are lots of buyers out there, but I think this one will recognize the true value.'When the staff opened the case and moved it around, they immediately asked, 'Excuse me, but are you a player?' That confirmed their expertise. When I mentioned my father had been a professional musician for many years, I learned he had visited this shop several times himself. I'm so glad I asked them."
