where to buy a yanagisawa tenor saxophone

Because saxophones are also collectible, their values are often closely connected to little details of the condition, like whether the finish is completely original, how much wear there is, what kinds of past repairs, whether the neck is original and in good shape, what vintage it is exactly, what engraving pattern it has, how rare it is, how desirable, whether it needs to be overhauled (which is very expensive to do right), and on and on.

Small music stores and pawn shops also often ask really high prices for saxophones that are not that rare or interesting. Part of the reason for this is that people put junk on eBay and Craigslist for high prices all the time, hoping to find someone who will pay a crazily high price for it. If you try to research the value of your saxophone, you will find that people are asking prices that are wildly different all over the place. So if you want to sell your saxophone, contact GetASax by email or by using the contact form and send along some photos* and a price, and I can get right back to you with questions or with details for a purchase. Local music stores tend not to offer as much as a specialty store like this can, if you have the kind of horn we sell. eBay has higher fees than consignment (13-14% or more with free shipping) and holds the money for (at least) 25 days, and allows buyers (some of whom are pros at this) to force a refund or partial refund from you even up to SIX MONTHS later! Shipping to international buyers is also very difficult, insurance is very limited ($500 international), and you are responsible for damage. Other options for selling are not that great.We will take the best possible care of your instrument and put into someone’s hands who will cherish it.

We are serious about restoring great saxophones and making them sing again.

We will even send you a prepaid label to pay for shipping and show you how to pack your saxophone safely. Selling to us is simple, safe, and worry-free. Selling to GetASax is an excellent choice for a number of reasons: Many people have old saxophones around and might like to sell them. But we end up having to overhaul almost all horns that come in on trade, so take that into consideration when estimating your horn’s value. Honest wear is fine if the horn is great. We are also happy to take trades and partial trades for horns that are the kind of thing that we sell. GetASax is located in Durham, North Carolina. Emailing directly at is the easiest way to contact us.
