It's completely free to advertise here, please mention where you saw this listing when replying to adverts here and always mention which band you play for.

All instruments should be brass band related (that includes percussion but excludes orchestral and marching band brass). Instruments are named after the British Brass Band tradition (so don't tell me you have an alto horn or trumpet to buy or sell!), the phrase brass band describes all sorts of ensembles, this site only lists brass bands as defined on the What is a Brass Band page.

Adverts will usually remain here for 3 months. Under no circumstances will the keeper of this page in any way be responsible for any of the items or errors on this page or for any transactions that happen as a result. All adverts have been taken in good faith, but be sensible when buying from, or selling to, someone who you don't know.

Personal transactions for instruments only, for details of a commercial service for your band or company, please contact Nigel Horne for pricing details.

While occurrences of fraud are rare, there have been reports of fraudsters posing as buyers and sending out scam e-mails, often stating that they are acting on behalf of a third party who is in debt. Remember to use common sense and that legitimate buyers will not offer you above the asking price or to pass on some money to a third party.

Some of the items marked as for sale are available for swap for other instruments. Contact the seller for further information.

Finally, if you have any beaten up instruments that are beyond economic repair, Andy Callard would appreciate them to help him study for his instrument repair course.
