The following is our current inventory of pre-owned, demonstration, imperfect, discontinued, overstocked, and closeout historical instruments, brought to you by Carlton, the intrepid sales manager of ASW's Bargain Basement. He is a hard-nosed individual whose business philosophy, succinctly expressed, is "mark it down and move it out." He has been known to sell instruments for birdseed. If you are looking for the best buys in early instruments, see Carlton for his latest list of early instrument bargains.
Each of these instruments has been fully serviced in our workshop and carries the same bullet-proof warranty and return privileges as a new, full-priced instrument. Most sale instruments are one-of-a-kind, however, and we cannot guarantee availability of any particular item. Carlton's Clearance Corner is updated on a daily basis, but we suggest that you contact him first to determine if the instrument in which you are interested is still available before you send in your order. We cannot hold sale items for extended periods of time, and we ask for your cooperation and consideration of our other customers in this regard.
Carlton is always on the lookout for used and vintage instruments of good quality. If you have any recorders or other historical instruments that you are no longer using, he would be happy to help you find a new home for them. We can either purchase your used instruments outright, sell them for you on a consignment basis, or accept them as trade-ins on the purchase of other instruments from our workshop. Give us a call or send us an E-mail message listing those items you wish to sell; we would be happy to inform you as to the salability and value of your instruments without obligation.
