Because vintage instruments are each so unique, we want to have a conversation with you to answer questions, discuss the individual characteristics of an instrument, and your specific needs or concerns. We are happy to take order details over the phone at the same time. There are some instruments we feel absolutely require this kind of dialogue, and you will see that they are not enabled for click & ship purchase. If you can’t phone us, please start a conversation by email.
Pennsylvania is an “Origin” state as regards sales tax obligations. Thus, shipments to PA destinations are subject to the Pennsylvania + Philadelphia sales tax of 8%. Otherwise, for shipments to other states we collect sales tax for instruments as required. We recommend that customers check with their state’s Department of Revenue to learn their obligations for reporting and remitting sales tax.
Personal checks are accepted, but must clear our bank before we will ship an instrument. Cashiers Checks are also accepted–just like cash. You may also transfer funds directly to our bank (contact the shop for bank wire information).
Shipping
We’ve shipped instruments all over the world for more than forty years, and that practice has taught us many things. Packing well helps insure that an instrument will arrive at your destination in good condition. Typically, we use UPS, Fedex, or US Mail, depending on the item, and where it is being shipped. We like to ship straight away, but might suggest waiting a bit if poor weather or long holidays present concerns.
We wish everyone could visit the shop, but know that isn’t always feasible. So, while we ship instruments all the time, there are exceptions. We do not ship bows over $1,000., violins or violas over $5,000., or any cellos. These instruments weren’t really built for the rigors of shipping. We prefer to ship guitars in hard shell cases. If a guitar is advertised with a soft case (original or otherwise) and you need to have it shipped, we can provide a new hard shell case at the cost of the case (these range from about $100. to $200).
Pennsylvania is an “Origin” state as regards sales tax obligations. Thus, shipments to PA destinations are subject to the Pennsylvania + Philadelphia sales tax of 8%. For shipments to other states we collect sales tax for instruments as required. We recommend that customers check with their state’s Department of Revenue to learn their obligations for reporting and remitting sales tax.
International shipments may be assessed customs and clearance duties by the governing authorities in the country of destination, and these charges are the responsibility of the customer. Additionally, the cost of export permits is charged to the customer, and we may ask to have these paid before the shipment is sent.
Returns
If you decide not to keep an instrument we have shipped to you, please notify us by telephone or email within 48 hours of receiving it. If there is some sort of calendar issue that makes this work poorly – please just talk to us. The instrument should then be packed up again as it was sent to you, and returned to us via the same shipping service by which it was delivered, and insured for full value. We will refund the price of the instrument as soon as we receive it, provided it arrives in the condition in which it left the shop. The customer is responsible for the shipping charges.
