Here at Taylor we realise what a pain it can be when you have found the new instrument you want, only to be given a what seems an insulting trade-in offer on your old instrument,.or left with the prospect of trying to sell it privately. The private sale route might raise more money but involves time and energy on your part, placing ads in the local papers, putting a card in the shop window and asking anyone and every one if they want to buy a used horn.

Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes it drags on for ages and the price gets lower and lower. You have to stop paying the fee to advertise in the locals or you'll loose even more money. In the end you either give up, convince yourself you can live without the new horn, or you go back to the music store and eat humble pie. The store manager then has the cheek to offer you even less this time, as it's three months older now! Do you take it, or buy a cheaper horn, or keep playing the old one?

Does this all sound a bit to familiar? If it does then help might be at hand.
We at Taylor will offer you a fixed price trade in deal for your old horn.

It works like this.

We will give you better than you could get for an average private sale, against a new Taylor Chicago Model Trumpet or Flugelhorn. This can easily amount to more than double the usual music store trade in deals.

You will need to be trading in a Pro model instrument. The valves will need to be in good working order and be reasonably airtight for its age. Small dents and creases, reasonable wear and tear, odd missing parts, flaking, worn, discoloured or missing lacquer or silver plate does not matter. It must be in a reasonable condition (not necessarily mint) and be in playable order.

The trade in price offered is based on one trumpet being traded in. Two, or more may be considered, but at a reduced rate.
