Horn Trader Music

Every drum in this place is falling apart from rust, covered in 2 inches of dirt and dust, improperly stored. It’s just a junkyard really, only instead of getting a good deal for a $10 kit (like at a real junkyard) you have to spend a couple hundred to get working again, here you’ll spend $2000 for a cracked shell produced in the 70s… it’s where drums go to die, it’s also a little hard to walk around because of all the junk.

Had some dents in the bell of my baritone. Also some sticky valves and stuck slides. They gave it a look, an estimate with an amazing price, and they had it completed by the next day!! Super friendly people

The 2 guys who work there are amazing. We have bought a trombone had a flute fixed and just bought a saxophone. They were able to adjust it and get it ready for us while we were in the city. They take the time to show you instruments and answer questions! I highly recommend if your needing a used instruments go see these guys!

Awesome vintage music store! Had several varieties of Instruments. Great prices and super friendly owner. I will be back to buy more music gear. Thanks horn trader.

Authentic dealer of a variety of instruments. Most all have been inspected and readied for sale. Lots of horns, percussion, guitars, violins uses, you name it. Special place.

Excellent place!! I say better than Guitar Center just because of the selection of instruments both new and vintage. The owner is amazing and super helpful!! We took my mom in laws trombone here to be repaired and they were fair and honest about price… Ended up being way cheaper then we expected!! Please go visit this store!!!

The name Horn Trader is a bit of a misnomer, they are most certainly not in the business of wanting to sell instruments, let alone trade them. Not only are they rude and dismissive, when presented with evidence of just how much they are overcharging for instruments they still refuse to budge to a remotely appropriate price. They don’t know how much any of their own merchandise costs, just that it’s “pretty expensive…six, seven, eight thousand maybe.” The value of the instrument ended up being more like $3000-$3500, they are significantly overcharging. Asking $200 for used mouthpieces you can buy brand new for $150 max. They have instruments that have been on the shelves for close to two decades and they don’t want to adjust the prices. They don’t want to sell instruments, they want to hoard them. This place is a joke. Sure, they have a LOT of merchandise, instruments you can’t find anywhere else in the city. But good luck trying to buy one at a fair price.

Been using them for years as my go to for bass guitar setups. Bruce is one of the best and most honest guy you could ask for a setup, and he is always quick on the turnaround. Great shop, I send anyone who will listen there for their musical needs.

Don’t shop here. I was so excited to find a store near to my company that had a vast array of vintage Selmer saxes which I wanted to see and possibly purchase. I was so excited till I stepped through the door. The staff could not have cared less that I was there. I was greeted by the manager with: WE ARE CLOSING IN 15 MINUTES AND I’M TRYING TO GET A GOVERNMENT LOAN ONLINE. I was taken back by the sheer lack of customer service and rudeness. I decided to walk out with the intention never to return again. I’ll just stick with my Yamaha Custom saxes till I find a store ready to want my business rather than repel my business. BUSINESS TIP: If you’re not available to talk business, then why stay open? Close your store.

Wonderfully helpful folks, huge selection, and very reasonable prices. We went to get new band instruments for our son and was very pleased. We ended up getting our daughter a new guitar and case. I would highly recommend them.

Superb place been many times, wide selection, interesting instruments, and VERY affordable prices!!! Owners are wonderful, and even negotiated to lower prices out of kindness!!!

This is the first time my grandson tried out for band & he chose the flute. My daughter called several places & the gentleman at this one was really helpful & the best on price so went there. Nice greeting upon entering & immediately helpful & informative since we really had no idea about flutes

I am hoping to return because my daughter needs her trumpet looked at, they did not pressure me to buy a “new” instrument. I think you can get just about any instrument related item here, work on instruments performed and advice. You get what you pay for and I think the instruments Horn Trader carries are upper echelon, many are used and show wear and/or patina but are quite serviceable.

Great experience. The gentlemen in the shop were kind and very personable. Very reasonable with pricing on high quality instruments. The shop is also very unique. So you might find something you wouldn’t find any where else. I found a 56′ American Vintage Series Olympic White ‘flash coated’ Stratocaster that was set up professionally and that played so well I couldn’t go without purchasing the instrument. Horn Trader is definitely worth your time.

I’ve purchased most of my own instruments here, and proud to say I’ve now purchased my son’s first here as well. Service charges are really reasonable, too. They have always taken care of me.

Love Love Love this place.I’m from big city with big music stores. Unbelievable stock of used horns. Tons I have been stopping in here for several years. I always pick a guitar and think…”I should buy this guitar”, but I never do. I did last week. Beautiful little parlor guitar…Love the owner. Very knowledgeable. Next time, I’m going to buy that baritone sax…

Love these guys. They have so much cool 😎 stuff

Best place in town to get repairs done quickly and at an affordable rate.

I arrived a little late after closing and the owner was getting into his car ready to leave. He saw me pull in and asked me what I needed. I told him, which it was not a huge sale at all, but he very kindly opened the store back up and allowed me to purchase the items. Great customer service and the only store around that had the items I needed!! Definitely recommend!

Helpful cool older dudes with sick gear. I was hoping for a better deal on old drum parts though. Still these guys are top notch and even called me back about stuff.

Best place for buying used instruments! Can’t beat their repair service either! Quoted $60 to replace a few clarinet pads, & they ended up needing to replace all of the pads & honored their quote!

Repaired my brothers trumpet great and let my roommate look at a French horn for a long time and even provided her a mouthpiece to try it out. The salesman was very pleasant and patient and answered all her questions. He also provided advice to my brother on guitars and which books he should buy.

I’ve been getting my daughters clarinet tuned and repaired by the horn trader for 3 years. We now have 2 clarinets. And are looking at a saxophone that will be maintaned there. Wonderful people doing great work. Thanks You.

I’ve been going there since the late eighties. Man, if it wasn’t for these guys, I would have never kept playing music. I was a broke kid and if I cracked a crash symbol, they’d find something in a pile of old symbols and sell it to me for a song and a dance. If i or a friend needed a guitar, bass or amp so our band could practice, they would have something for us that we could afford that wasn’t just junk. I owe some of my creativity to these guys.

Super helpful and they have a great selection. They had some unexpected unique pieces as well. Prices are good, Luthier the on the spot. I can’t wait to go back!

Purchased a used Cornet for $120. Researched it and found out it was made in 1909. It’s not in the greatest condition but it plays. They have a surprisingly large selection of instruments and you won’t be disappointed with the selection. Well worth the trip.

I honestly thought they were out of business until someone else referred me to Horn Trader Music today. They were the most helpful and knowledgeable people that I have come across in a long time. Seriously, the best customer service hands down!

There was a nice man to help me ,amazing customer service . He helped me get a case for my new guitar he had lots of nice guitars for sell , and I think I will buy a 12 string that I was there .

They had some great items for a great price. You have to call when you get there & he’ll open up. We’ll definitely be back.

Bought my violin here at a, great price．Fender Electric FV-1

Great place for vintage instruments to beginner guitars. They also have a great selection of vintage cases! Great prices too!

Cool shop with a lot of stuff you won’t find at guitar center. This stuff has soul. It might actually be haunted, but who doesn’t love a haunted trumpet?!

These guys are amazing very fair they gave more than Guitar Center Vintage Stock anybody very friendly buy anything for a fair price

Miserable excuse for a business. I guess one needs to come in with cash stapled to your clothes to get attention. And, save your time…hornTRADER is a severe misnomer. You’ll need 99-100% liquid cash to “trade” with them. They would not offer $1 for a very nice Martin sax or a decent Emerson open hole! We waited 45 minutes to be told that they would be closing in 15 minutes so we had to hurry! Really? We had watched as a mother “traded” 2 cheap student flutes and a beat up off-brand fiddle (and one must assume a lot of cash) for a cheap bass guitar. Finally, the man, after the 15 minute warning, allowed us to LOOK at the flugel. I asked to pick it up, at which point I was presented with a pair of dirty white gloves, like those included with $100 First Act trumpets, lol. Mouthpiece in hand, I was told that casual playing was not allowed. Didn’t seem to matter that we watched the long-haired teenager play and paw all over the bass guitars? Hmm? Now mind you, this wasn’t a $10,000 Monette, but a $1300 used flugelhorn. Last straw! I likened this to being asked to pay for a car before ever opening the door. Additionally, during our wait, we were asked not to touch or remove anything from the shelves, and the old man even asked my 9 year old to cover his mouth when he coughed. I felt more disrespected than I’ve ever been. As I say, I felt honored to be there at first, but, that was shattered. These people could offer me a free, new, Monette to make up, and I would still never, ever recommend them! We went out of our way to visit them, but trust me, your day will be far better served if you shy away. Stick to the pawn shops. You’ll probably get a better deal, better treatment, and I’ve never entered one that wouldn’t let you play an instrument. Good day!

I called Horn Trader looking for an inexpensive used Strat, which the gentleman on the phone said they had. I told him what I had to offer in trade, and he told me to bring it down and we’d talk. I got all the way down there (about 40 min one way), and I talked to him for a few and looked at their Strat. Then another guy comes up and tells me, “Well, we don’t need any trades, we’re overstocked.” The only reason I drove down there was because the first gentleman told me to bring my trades, and he knew what my trade-ins were. An hour and a half of my time and quarter tank of my gas wasted. For nothing.

I am an aspiring worship drummer. The people was so knowledgeable and helpful. They answered many questions and help understand the differences in gear. Thank you guys. Be blessed.

I love this place it’s worse than a kid in a candy store…. I compare it to buying an AKC puppy compared to go into a shelter and getting a puppy… you know you can get just as much love out of a shelter puppy and it don’t cost you as much money…😉😉

If you need it, they have it

great place to buy and sell used music equipment. they have been in business a very long time. always nice and friendly!!!

If you’re looking for a pre-owned musical instrument….try here….they have what you are looking for.

One guy was nice. The other was kind of rude. I gave it 3 stars bc they do have a lot of instruments you can’t find any where else.

Really cool. Place.made a great deal when purchasing my daughter’s violin. Ask about the clocks!

If you love vintage drums and horns, this is the place. Stacks of player and collectors drums, ……Everywhere you look!

Told me they was interested in buying my saxaphone and had me drive from shawnee all the way there just for the guitar guy to call the horn guy and tell him that they dont have the proper funds to buy the saxaphone that was worth $1,200.00 used for $25.00 just so that it wouldnt have been an entirely wasted and out of pocket trip

Great place to buy used instruments! They have them very clean… Great cost, Great condition, Loved it
