What to ask about
Musical instruments Jim buys
- Musical instruments, including inherited pieces
- Individual instruments or a group from an estate
- Instruments with their existing cases and paperwork
These are buying interests, not a promise to buy every item. Tell Jim what you have before making plans.

What to send by text
- Text a picture of the whole instrument and close-ups of any visible maker’s marks or labels.
- Describe known damage or missing parts, and mention whether you have a case.
- Do not dismantle an instrument to find a label. Send the details that are safely visible.
Before you do anything: There is no need to transport an instrument for an initial question. Jim is a mobile buyer; begin by calling or texting.
Buying interest depends on the particular instrument and condition. A photo or a maker’s name does not guarantee authenticity, value or an offer.
