Saunders Recorders

Used Instrument List

As part of my 'winding down' I have stopped buying or taking accepting used intruments in part exchange. This page is not dead yet though. I have some instruments put aside for service and they will appear from time to time. The links to private sale recorders are still in place.

Overseas readers can find a currency converter by keying 'currency converter' in Google. You can follow this link if you wish. Currency Converter by OANDA.com.

I try as far as possible to offer used instruments which are hardly distinguishable from new. Marked thumb holes are bushed and failing corks and pads are replaced. They are offered with warranty and aftersales service. Please see my care notes. Instruments that I describe as being suitable for ensemble playing do not hold their pitch well with variations in loudness. This is not so much of a fault as it may seem to be at first. Indeed, it can be a real advantage! Such instruments blend well and will easily 'go with the flow'. They are also up to pitch when played softly. I am ambivalent in my approach to the ivory decoration often found on old instruments. I do not consider that it adds to the value (as it did when the instrument was made). Nor do I think it detracts from the value. You must resolve this dilemma yourself. I only refer to it as a 'sleeve' or 'ring' in my description to avoid drawing undue attention it and possibly upsetting a staunch conservationist. I identify plastic where I am sure that this is the material used.

I have produced one of my extended pages, on buying used instruments. You would do well to read it! Click here.

There is also page on the value of used instruments. This page is also relevant if you are wondering about selling a recorder. Click here.

I have decided to expand this page by offering a 'small ads' service for instruments. These instruments will be noted below, with links to a new page. I no longer charge for this service. Please email me if you wish to avail yourself of this service.

If you are unsure of the implication of technical terms check my Glossary.
