On selling, I find www.ebay.com to be the best, followed by
the auction pages of www.yahoo.com.

The single best way to get high price is to put lots of detail pictures,
with a full history of the clarinet, who/when used,
flaws, repairs needed, etc. I did this, lots of pictures, being
very clear on the flaws. Got $200.00 more than anyone else for
the same model made in the same decade.

best wishes,
terry

wish it was for a "C" clarinet!

: Hi,
:
: If this question is inappropriate for this list, please let me know.
:
: I used to play the clarinet in high school, and own a B flat
: clarinet and an
: A clarinet. These days I don't play that often any more, and
: so I want to
: sell the A clarinet. Does anyone know of a place/person in
: the Boston area
: that can check out the clarinet and make any necessary
: repairs before I sell
: it? I wasn't sure if I should trust a music store. I am
: also a little
: afraid of asking for too much/too little for it, so I wanted
: to get an idea
: of how much it it worth. I thought maybe if I go to the
: music department of
: a local college, someone might be able to tell me, but wanted
: to have an
: idea to start with.
:
: Thanks.
