All information and pictures on the website are instruments or accessories owned or previously owned by Duchy Brass and I have not given permission for these to be used on other websites.
To purchase a brass instrument listed on the website please contact me by either email or telephone to confirm availability. Once confirmed I will require your name, address, delivery address (if different), a contact telephone number at the delivery address and preferred payment method. I will then email an invoice for payment.
Payment can be accepted via Debit Cards, Bank Transfer, Cheque (subject to clearance) or Paypal which allows credit/debit card payment (subject to a surcharge of 3%-5% to cover their fees).
Instruments to be delivered within the UK mainland are sent free of charge. Instruments to be delivered outside of the UK mainland are charged at cost which will be calculated at the point of sale, please contact me if you require an accurate delivery quote. Items are sent the day after cleared payment has been received. Once sent you will be provided with the courier details and tracking information. All instruments are sent via insured and tracked services. Please note that shipments sent outside of the European Union may be subject to customs tax/import duty, this is the responsibility of the buyer and you are advised to check this with your local customs department prior to purchase.
I take great care to ensure that instruments are sent in good condition and appropriately packed. However, damage can sometimes occur in transit. On receipt please check your goods immediately. If the instrument cannot be checked straight away please write ‘unchecked’ on the couriers delivery document/handheld scanner. Any faults or damage must be reported to Duchy Brass within 24 hours of delivery or claims will not be entertained.
For sales within the UK you are entitled to cancel the order you have placed, this entitlement may exercised up to 7 days, starting from the day after the instrument was received. If you cancel an order after the instrument has been delivered you must send it back at your own cost. The instrument must still be in the condition it was sent.
New Geneva instruments are covered by their lifetime warranty and new JP instruments are covered by a two year warranty details of which can be provided on request.
Used, ex-demo and refurbished instruments come with a six month warranty against any mechanical defects and should a fault occur at my discretion the instrument can be returned to me for repair or taken to a repairer of your choice with the cost being reimbursed. This warranty does not cover cosmetic issues with silver/gold plating or lacquer finishes nor damage caused by accident or misuse.
If you wish to return your instrument I try to make the process as simple and easy as possible whilst safeguarding the service I provide. Therefore please follow the terms below:
