Tips for selling string instruments

  • List the instrument size, maker or workshop if known, age, and any label inside.
  • Photograph front, back, scroll, sides and any repairs or cracks.
  • Use options for size or outfit level — instrument only, or with bow and case.
  • Loosen strings slightly and protect the bridge for shipping; explain your packing.
  • Say whether the instrument has been set up and when.

Questions about selling string instruments

How do I ship a cello or double bass?

Use a padded hard case or flight case inside a box with plenty of padding. Because of the size, many sellers offer local pickup instead.

Can I sell instruments with labels I can't verify?

Describe the label as it appears and say you can't confirm the maker. Honest descriptions protect you and the buyer.

How do I get paid?

Buyers pay you directly through your own Stripe or PayPal account. MultiVendor charges a subscription for the software.
