Selling an instrument? Used instruments needed!
We have a list of new students who are looking to purchase second-hand instruments following a very successful Band Recruitment Night.
If you think you may be interested in selling your instrument at the end of the year, please contact Kate Heng on bps.friendsoftheband@gmail.com
Kate is happy to be a point of contact between sellers and buyers, however will not be participating in price negotiations.
