We recently had one of our famous mega-buying events in East Hartford, Connecticut. Customers came out from all over Hartford, Tolland and Middlesex counties in CT: Hartford, Manchester, Farmington, Windsor, New Britain, Middletown, Bloomfield, Enfield and Newington. We even had people cleaning out their attics and basements from across the Massachusetts and Rhode Island borders in Worcester and Providence counties.

We had a couple from Vernon who cleaned out their grandfather's attic and found an old Italian Rondelli Accordion and French Selmer Clarinet, both of which we bought. A young man from Bristol uncovered a Fender American Guitar in his dad's basement that needed some work. There was a band from Wethersfield that had just broken up and brought down a Peavey PA System and Pearl drum kit with Zildjian cymbals. A bar owner in Berlin wanted to sell his old Denon CD Players and Tascam tape decks. We even sold some of the items people brought down that day right at the event. The most exciting part of the day was when a man from Avon brought in a few old vintage Roland and Korg Keyboards for which we were able to pay him a substantial amount. We also took in a number of used rental band and orchestra instruments like trumpets, trombones, flutes and violins.

No matter what people had we were able to make deals with them. Over half of the items we bought were either damaged or broken and we purchased them either deciding to use them for parts or spend the money fixing them in our repair shops. So if you are looking to clean out your home, unload some instruments you no longer use or get some extra money for some of your gear, come down to our next musical instrument buying event.
