Instrument Buying and Selling

Depends on condition and playability.They are wooden,old and vulnerable to many factors.If you find a nice one buy it!Spend $2 or 3 hundred for a guitar that sounds better than most new Martins costing thousands.

im not sure if this is right or not, but i would say either a harmonica, or a stick(you can use anything as a drum).

The Kazoo is by far the cheapest instrument, that is, if you consider it an instrument.

I have seen about 2 dozen fender mustangs from the 60s in person, on eBay, ect. Usually something nice like a 65 can fetch anywhere from 800 to 3000 dollars, depending on it's condition. Also, if it's parts are all original and it's paint is original the value should be at least a grand. In my opinion, they are wonderful guitars, and their value as an instrument far surpasses their price.

it depends is it an American standard Strat or a Mexican Strat i payed around 600.00 for my 1995 Cherry Red Fender Mex-Strat 2 years ago so American standard around 800.00 to 900.00 Mex 400.00 to 600.00

Hope this Helps

I just paid $1100 for a 1995 Limited Edition Fender American Stratocaster standard in Lake Placid Blue with a matching headstock.The guitar was purchased by a collector and was never played they only made them for a short time in 95 so the condition has a big factor on what a guitar is worth. If it was used worth around $800-$1000 Did not mind paying $1100 for a 16 year old guitar never played!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drake Bell is an American actor, comedian, and singer/songwriter. How much money he has is not public information. However, he is estimated to have a net worth of around $2.7 million.

I just paid $734 including tax on my 98 studio. I picked it up at a big music store in Richmond VA. It has Groover tuners, black mat finish, and all sorts of character. The beauty of any used guitar is that they all have a story. Buying new you may have no scratches and get all the pretty tags but you miss out on any personalty the older guitars carry.

The list price of a T602 Holton Trumpet is $1099, but it can be found at discount stores for about $699. A good rule of thumb for a used instrument is about 1/2 of that cost, or about $350. I would suggest asking that for an instrument in excellent shape, or less for instruments that show more use.

Nicolaus Amatus violins were produced in the mid to late 1600s. Since then, many reproductions have been made. The chance of owning a 400 year old violin is slim to none, check with an antique specialist for authentication.

Looking around online, it seems they can go for 150 - 400, but in other forums i've seen some people say anything up to 1000, maybe more, but the initial pricing seems more acurate. I have a Fender Pro 185 and have contemplated selling it, but i love it loud and i'd never find an amp like this again!

An American bass has between 10 and 13 libs. It depends on model.

Les Paul invented one of the most famous guitar lines in history.

And multi-track recording.

Les Paul also invented the neck worn harmonica holder when he was 10. He made it out of a coat hanger.

It all depends on the condition/originality of the guitar. Assuming you are in the U.S.A. they would start at $500 (Bad condition) through to $2000 for a totally mint one. Again there are many price affective factors including the paint color, whether or not you hav the original hard shell case... etc etc Due to the broad nature of the question, I can not give you a direct figure but it should be somewhere in that range.

The Z represents an American made instrument. The 9 after the Z represents 2009. For example a Z3------ would be an American made Fender produced in 2003.

Wurlitzer Jukeboxes are still very popular and they have a high antique value. The price range is huge and depending on the Wurlitzer's model it costs from some 100 dollars to over 10,000 dollars.

he uses a Epiphone Tom DeLonge Signature you can watch episode 3 to find out he says it or you can go to this website to buy but a bit pricey £500!!! any way do u know what guitar he uses in his album its a acoustic guitar by the way!!!

First... a les paul is made by Gibson. two, it depends on the quality you are looking for. Are you looking just for

the look of a les paul or the sound of a les paul?

if just for look you can get a Epiphone les paul, a low to medium-high quality guitar for $200 to $2000 new.

or if you want quality and resale value ect. go with Gibson less paul and those start at about $800 new for the basics up to $25,000.

now Fender Has a wide range and makes of guitars

No one can really know without you telling us what year it is, the serial number, and a bunch of other things. One place you can look though is going to the fender website and typing the serial number in the fender website search. If that doesn't work, try google. :) Hope this helps.

Absolutely depends on the genre of music you play with it. Most of the people are happy with the stock Gibson pickups that come with Gibson Les Pauls, these might be Burstbuckers, Classic 57s, 496R-500Ts, 490R-498Ts. These pickups are usually good for most kinds of music.

You can also choose to fit your Les Paul with pickups from different manufacturers, like Seymour Duncan, DiMarzio, EMG, Suhr, Bare Knuckle, etc. These pickups are usually fine-tuned for a given tone, so they might be a good choice if you are into something specific.

It varies. These guitars are fairly rare because not that many were made, however the quality of build isn't really that good on these guitars. Up until about 1910 or so Gibson didn't put their manufacturer label on the guitar itself, but there should be a serial number number on the inside of the guitar.

You're looking at between £1500-£2000 (roughly working at around $2000-2500 or 2000 Euro) as of 2012, with a general increase of around 3-5% each year.

A point worth mentioning is that the archtop is worth about 20% more than the flat-top.

I myself have one of these guitars and its great to play, as I'm sure you're aware of.

The size of the tubing gradually increases throughout the length of the instrument.

It's unlikely that a Wurlitzer piano was produces with only 73 keys - if not a full keyboard, it's more likely this should be 76. That said, I couldn't locate any less-than-full-size Wurlitzer pianos from the 1950s. A standard, 88-key spinet piano from this era would be worth about $400 - $700 in good cosmetic and working condition. If it has a particularly unique design or is closer to mint condition, expect the higher end of the range or better.

in my opinion, Mapex, Pearl, or Tama would be a much better bet. millennium and dxp are both off brands. if you need a less expensive drumset, check brands on guitarcenter.com. any brand they have should listed will be better than other obscure brands.

With decades of experience in drumming, I find the answer to drum sounds to be associated with the wood chosen to manufacture the drum as well as the methods used to cut the bearing edges, therefore the question is not a easily answered as simply picking a manufacturer. The answer is more related to the sound one wishes to produce with the drum

If one is looking for muffled but hollow log sound without much tonal effect, the drum manufacturer does not matter all that much, about anything will suffice

If one is looking for a jazz tone the the wood used to manufacture the drums is best if its maple, however Maple usually falls short on volume

If one is looking for projection of the sound with volume and tone then other woods such as birch and oak will provide that type of sound

Metal drums provide a very distinct crack sound like that of a whip, which is why they are often associated with Snare drum design. Its not uncommon for a snare drum to be different than other kit drums as a snare must provide the distinctive sound one desires.

The shell ply has a lot to do with resonance, thin shells tend to resonate more while thick shells resonate less but project more

Smaller drums provide higher pitches and add tone and color to the overall sound

The more tuning lugs there are on a drum the more even a head can be tuned the less lugs on a drum the less control over even tension there is. Usually smaller drums will have less lugs than larger drums and less expensive drums with have less lugs than expensive drums (contain the costs)

Finally there are the plethora of heads on the market today which can change the sound of a drum entirely. There are clear, coated, dotted, hydraulic, muffled etc. and variations within those groups so the choices can be mind boggling with heads ... Coated Ambassador is a good starting point

Cymbals are yet another different arena themselves but rest assured that the Sabian B8 20in ride is the mainstay of most kits in use today. After that crash, splash cymbals, high hats cymbals, and special effects cymbals, are a matter of personal preference and financial capability.

Therefore many things need to be considered when deciding on drums, especially kits. Its best to get the sound you are looking for initially as opposed to purchasing 2 or even 3 sets of drums as a progression toward finding that sound.

Don't be afraid of used drums as most are quite durable and can survive road use for decades while still holding their sound.

It depends on the 12 year old. Why would you ask a question like that?
