Consignments

Why trust your instrument to the internet.  Why pay high consignment fees.  Cyndi Hall’s Music Studio offers quality consignment musical instruments for a 10% fee off the top.  That’s right, you keep 90% of the total sale.

I’m thrilled that you found someone to appreciate my violin and bow.  Thank you for not giving up!

Here’s How It Works

1. Set up an appointment with our consultant team.
2. After careful evaluation and acceptance, we will discuss a fair market price and offer you a spot within our consignment listing.
3. If repairs or maintenance are needed in order for us to sell your instrument, you will be asked to pay for those repairs prior to consignment.
4. Once the consignment agreement has been signed, Cyndi Hall’s Music Studio will work hard to sell your instrument at a fair market price.
5. We reserve all selling rights including where and how the instrument is marketed and sold after the contract is signed.
6. Insurance will be the responsibility of the instrument owner throughout the consignment and sale terms of agreement.
7. We reserve the right to refuse any consignment at any time.
8. You retain your right to stop consignment at any time and allow ample time for instrument return.

Please contact us directly to see our catalog of consigned instruments.

Every instrument is worthy of consideration, we would rather you ask than assume.  If we don’t feel your instrument is right for our market, we will gladly refer you to others who may have the market you’re looking for.

Considerations

There are many ways to sell your used instrument, from word of mouth to local or professional shops, auction houses to the internet.

While the decision of where and how to sell your instrument remains yours alone, here are a few things to consider, like:

1. What year, make and model is your instrument?
2. What year did you purchase your instrument and what was your purchase price?
3. Is it in good working condition or does it need maintenance or repairs?
4. When was the last time you had your instrument serviced for proper functioning?
5. Is it a student or professional instrument.  What level?
6. Is there a market for the instrument you wish to sell?  If so, what is the market like at the moment?
7. What is your bottom dollar?

There may be other questions you have, but these questions will help you as you prepare your decision to sell directly or consign with a professional or other retail establishment.
