    You’ll Get a Great Deal

    Pawnshops get a bad rap for selling a bunch of used stuff, but that’s not the half of it.

    At Howard’s Pawn and Jew­el­ry, we car­ry used items, yes, but it’s far from just a bunch of yard sale cast-offs. You’ll find high-qual­i­ty, gen­tly-used items, includ­ing musi­cal instru­ments. And you’ll get a great deal.

    You could go to a music store to find the right musi­cal tool for your kid­do, but you will most like­ly end up pay­ing full retail price. New gui­tars, trum­pets, flutes, key­boards, and clar­inets, to name a few, will set you back a pret­ty pen­ny. If your child is just start­ing out, the best way to make sure they’re real­ly inter­est­ed in play­ing is to invest in sec­ond­hand equip­ment first.

    Things to Consider

    Just like with any pur­chase, there are some things to keep in mind when buy­ing used musi­cal instruments.

    • What is the aver­age retail price of the same instru­ment if you buy new? Know the mar­ket and the going rate for new ver­sions of what you’re shop­ping for. This will help you deter­mine if you’re get­ting a good deal.
    • Does it need repairs? Some­times used instru­ments need minor repairs. Some­times these are inex­pen­sive and worth tak­ing them to a repair per­son. If a gui­tar needs new strings or a vio­lin bow needs restring­ing, those are easy and afford­able repairs. If there is major dam­age to the instru­ment, includ­ing to the body or the pri­ma­ry com­po­nents, you might want to pass. That kind of dam­age will cost you more to repair than buy­ing new.
    • Call ahead. If you need some­thing spe­cif­ic, call ahead to see if we have it in stock. If we don’t have it cur­rent­ly, there is a chance we could find it for you.
