Second-hand music & instruments in Chatham-Kent typically sells for C$28 to C$1,500 (about $20 to $1,100). Where and when it was built moves the figure enormously, and buyers pay close attention to the country stamped inside. A model still made today has its price capped by the new one, while a discontinued line answers to nothing but demand.
Buying music & instruments in Chatham-Kent
Chatham-Kent is a single municipality covering a large stretch of the most productive farmland in the country, with a number of small towns inside it rather than one city. Agriculture and food processing are the economy, and the flat land here is drained farmland rather than natural prairie.
Anything with a soundboard hates being posted: temperature and knocks in transit undo a setup and can crack a body outright. Carrying it home yourself, in its case, is the safest journey it will make.
What to check in person
Play every note up the neck and listen for buzzing, and sight down the neck from the body to check it is straight. Look at the bridge and the area around the tuning pegs for cracks or old repairs, and try every key or valve.
Collecting it in Chatham-Kent
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
Agree which town before anything else — this is a municipality the size of a county and the distances inside it are real. Trucks and trailers are ordinary, so moving something large is rarely the problem.
