Sale

The same instruments, with a cosmetic mark. Every blemished instrument comes from the same workshop, the same materials and the same build as our first-quality line. The only difference is a cosmetic mark that kept it out of first-quality stock. The marks do not affect how it plays or sounds. Each listing names its grade. Questions? Contact us.

Grade 1 or Grade 2. Grade 1 has minor cosmetic marks, such as a small finish blister or a light scratch, that you would rarely notice from playing distance. Grade 2 has moderate cosmetic marks or a minor non-structural repair, and carries the larger price reduction. If you plan to play rather than display, either grade is a sound choice. Questions? Contact us.

Plays and sounds like the first-quality version. The mark is cosmetic, so it changes nothing about how the instrument is built or how it sounds. Like every instrument we ship, it will need tuning when it arrives, and new strings take a few days to settle. Every sale item carries our 30-day money-back guarantee and free shipping to the 48 contiguous states. For specifications and full details, each listing links to its first-quality page.
