Returns & Refunds
Our goal is your musical satisfaction.
New Products:
If you’re not satisfied with your selection, then neither are we. If
for any reason you’re not completely satisfied with your purchase of a
new item, simply return it in its original condition within 14 days of
purchase (see below for exceptions) and we’ll give you a full refund
less payment processing fees and cleaning fees. Simple as that.
Returned items must be
in original, brand-new condition, showing no signs of wear or use such
as belt-buckle scratches, scuffs, dings or scrapes on the instrument or
collateral materials. Items must also include all original packaging,
manuals, warranties and accessories or your return may be subject to a
return handling charge or declined. Please note all new instruments are
professionally set up and play tested prior to shipping to ensure they
are playing at their best. Your refund will be processed in a timely
manner upon successful evaluation of your returned item from our trained
professionals.
Refunds are made for product value only, excluding freight charges. If you received Free Shipping on your order, the value of this uncharged shipping cost (at actual cost, not flat rate tier) will be deducted from your refund.
For change of mind returns where payment was made by paypal or stripe there will also be a deduction for all transaction fees incurred as paypal and stripe no longer refunds transaction fees for refunds.

warranty claims.
