Kenneth U.S. On Vacation returns 11/30/2009 View Profile View Past Answers	Knowledgeability 10.0 Clarity of Response 10.0 Timeliness 10.0 Politeness 10.0 Total Questions 18	I can field questions regarding brass and woodwind musical instruments, repairs, etc. I am a professional musician, a former public school band director with a B.S. and M. Ed. in music education and I operate a brass and woodwind dealership and repair center. Please click on the View Profile link to see my frequently asked questions. FAQ... HOW MUCH IS MY INSTRUMENT WORTH? Without actually seeing the instrument it is very difficult to place a value on it. A great deal of the value is determined by what condition the instrument is in. Values also differ greatly from region to region. Purchasing from, or selling to an individual is much different than purchasing from or selling to a dealer. Just like anything else... it's worth what ever someone is willing to pay for it. If you search completed items on eBay you can usually get a pretty good idea of the value. If you wish to sell your instrument, you may consider placing it on eBay with a relatively low starting price and no reserve price. With good pictures and a good description it will generally bid up to what it's worth. You may also consider donating it .....
