Do you have a musical instrument to sell? Or do you know someone who does?

We are holding a Musical Instrument Auction at the Alresford Music Festival on Saturday 11th June. We are looking for sellers who want to offer their surplus musical instruments to the 3,000 potential buyers attending the festival! That’s a pretty high number of potential buyers for an auction.

The process is simple:

Post an image and description of your instrument(s) on
one of the appropriate pages on our web site
Bring your instrument in the morning
Enjoy the festival
And get some cash back at the end of the day

Variations on the above are possible. For all the details please visit the Musical Instrument Auction.

Here are some examples of instruments already offered for sale:

Yamaha YTR-1335 Bb Trumpet hardly used. In special gold-lacquer finish. With case but no mouthpiece.

MARSHALL MG series 50DFX amplifier complete with power cable and footswitch.
