All sellers of used musical instruments and musical equipment have their own style of selling their products. If you would like to buy used musical instruments , you can buy online or at a music store. If you are a thrifty shopper, and a bargain hunter, buying used music instruments online can save you money. Consider the following before making a purchase:

Decide on the type of used musical instrument or equipment you would like to buy and for what purpose. Will the instrument be used for a musical concert, for sale or for music lessons?
Determine your budget. If needed, save money for a good quality instrument you see for sale and want to buy.
Ask family, friends, music teachers, music directors or musicians, who have been playing musical instruments , their recommended shop to purchase used instruments. You can also do research online for shops and make a trip to music stores in your area.
Do an Internet search of the specific make and model of the instrument you like. Find out more about the item's condition and value. Ask for pictures and check on the level of craftsmanship. Inquire about warranties and free shipping.
Make a list of the instruments you are interested in and compare the quality, condition and the price. Carefully look at the physical condition of the used instrument and make sure every part, including minute details, are complete and functioning correctly. If you are going to a music store, bring a musician or someone knowledgeable on how to play or repair the instrument.
Check the merchandise before you make a purchase. For used woodwind instruments, ask an experienced musician to play the instrument or ask a technician's opinion about the quality of the item's performance. If you are buying a used piano, ask a tuner to determine if the piano needs repair. If you are not able to try the merchandise in the shop, or bought something online, ask the seller if you can take the used instrument to a repair shop for advice.
If accessories are sold separately, look at the quality as well of the accessories. For a violin, it is important that the quality of the bow has balance, flexibility, and a good weight. Some instruments may also need a case, especially when you intend to travel with them for music lessons.
Ask the seller more information about the item. When was the instrument made and how many years was it used? Was it homemade? Was it used in a musical concert or by a musical director? Ask questions that would reassure you that you are making a good purchase.

Determine whether the used instrument you like is worth the expense. Compute the actual total cost you need to pay, including the price of the musical instrument, the cost of repairs if needed, the cost of accessories added and the shipping cost. Make sure that the total amount is within your budget, and the value and condition is according to your required standard.
