How we grade used student instruments
Clearer than “good condition.” Educational — not a price list.
Our condition language
- Student-ready — plays in tune after normal setup; safe for school use.
- Needs setup — plays, but strings/bridge/pegs/pads should be addressed soon.
- Project / parts — for repair benches or harvest; not a first student instrument.
- As-is — known issues disclosed; price reflects remaining work.
What we show
- Real photos when live for sale
- Notes on cracks, seams, missing parts, electronics
- No invented inventory
