Trade-in

Want to trade something in? You can! Trading in your musical instrument or equipment at Klundert Music comes with lots of benefits.

When you trade in your instrument with us, you’re doing so in a reliable place, you’ll receive honest advice, and you’ll get your trade-in value right away. Just give us a call or drop by!

Safe and fair trade-ins without any hassle — we’ve been doing this since 1986!

Also online

Can’t make it to the store to discuss your trade-in? No problem — you can send us a proposal with some photos. Please include:

  • Photos of the instrument from all angles
  • Photos of the serial number
  • Photos of any damage or signs of use

Email your proposal to info@klundertmusic.nl or send it via WhatsApp to our main number: +31 (0)13 528 8660

Trade proposals

Straight swaps — for example, trading one guitar for another — generally aren’t something we do. But if you have something truly special, feel free to give it a shot!

Before sending in a trade proposal, please consider the following:

  • Think about whether your trade-in is fair. For example, if your instrument is worth more than what you want to buy, it might make more sense to sell it first and then use that money to purchase the new instrument.
  • Looking to get top value for your instrument? Try selling it yourself first. If that doesn’t work, we can take it as a trade-in and sell it for you. Please note: we never pay extra or add money on top of a trade deal.

Purchase proposals

In general, we don’t buy musical instruments outright.

However, sometimes you might have a full batch of instruments, or perhaps you want to sell instruments or equipment from someone who stopped making music.

If that’s the case, you can always contact Dennis to discuss a potential purchase proposal: dennis@klundertmusic.nl

Market & trade value

When you want to trade something in, we make an offer based on the trade value of the product — not the market value. We have to resell the product and provide a warranty, which adds costs that we need to consider.

What don’t we trade in?

Please note that sometimes we cannot accept trade-ins. There are a few conditions, and trade-ins are always discussed with one of our staff members.

  • Instruments and equipment older than ten years are generally not accepted for trade-in. Sometimes we make exceptions for guitars — certain models, depending on their condition, can still be traded in.
  • Accessories such as bags, cables, and stands are not accepted for trade-in.
  • Computer-related products like software and audio interfaces are not accepted for trade-in.
  • Defective instruments and equipment are not accepted for trade-in.
  • Instruments or equipment that require extensive maintenance are also not accepted.
