Brilliant second hand deals at John Packer

Thinking about a new instrument, or looking to sell you old one?

John Packer
 

Did you know that selling an instrument to a shop or part exchanging gives you the worst financial return?

Great way to go

Selling privately is most cost effective, but if you want to engage the resources of a really busy shop with a website that gets thousands of hits a month, selling on commission is a great way to go.

John Packer’s second hand sales department is so busy that sometimes we don’t even have time to display an instrument on our website before it’s sold.

Current gems include:

Yamaha Maestro euphonium (lacquer)
Ref: CS655431
Price: £2,200

A predecessor to the Neo model, with a bit of lacquer wear but good for anyone to upgrade on and take them on through grades and band career.

Besson Prestige cornet
Ref: CS655452
Price: £1,200

Thought of by many as the pinnacle of cornet design. Fair condition, few small dinks on bell etc. Cheaper than buying a new one!
