Comments Off on How should I return an instrument?

If you wish to return your instruments or accessories I try to make the process as simple and easy as possible whilst safeguarding the service I provide. Therefore please follow the terms below:

  • You must notify me of your intention to return the instruments or accessories within 14 days of receipt (not the invoice date).
  • The original packaging must be retained and you should ensure that the instruments or accessories are returned to me packaged to the same standard as they were originally delivered.
  • Any courier service used to return the instruments or accessories should be tracked and fully insured. Duchy Brass will not be responsible for any instruments or accessories lost or damaged in transit whilst being returned and will reserve the right to return it to you or reduce the value of any refund to cover the cost of damage and subsequent repair.
  • Whilst I appreciate that you will want to inspect/try the instruments or accessories they must be returned to me in the condition which they were sent. Duchy Brass reserves the right to charge a re-stocking fee should any instruments or accessories be returned with any damage, cosmetic or otherwise, this will be deducted from your refund. In cases of extreme damage your return may be refused as above.
  • For hygiene reasons this does not apply to new mouthpieces which are unreturnable.
  • Please note that any instruments or accessories returned from outside of the UK mainland will have the original delivery costs deducted from any refund paid.
  • Any instruments taken in part-exchange will be returned at your cost if they are still in my possession, if not the agreed part- exchange valuation will be paid.

Having not played for nearly 30 years I had the desire to play the cornet again. I am based in Qatar where there are very limited options to purchase any quality instruments. I wanted a Besson Sovereign and Duchy Brass had an ex demo available at a very reasonable price, offering a good saving on a brand new one. I did some reviews and Duchy Brass’s proven track record was reassuring, having supplied instruments to customers previously in  the USA and the Far East. Jenny’s assistance and service was excellent, with the parcel being delivered to me in Qatar in 4 days. Arrived all packaged securely and marked as fragile, thus ensuring the safe delivery. Got it straight out the case and played like I had hoped. Looks and feels like brand new. One very happy customer. Jenny’s willingness to discuss with me out of her normal business hours made the whole thing go smoothly. I would recommend Duchy Brass to anyone and in particular any overseas customers. Thank you Duchy Brass

It was just as I expected from your description. Thank you very much for your efficient way of doing business. I would have no hesitation in recommending you.

Great practice last night with the cornet, it’s got great character I'm very happy with it. Enjoying playing it is really going to help in the next 9 weeks until the Area contest.  Thank you again for everything I really due appreciate how straight forward you've made this and if I ever hear someone wanting to purchase an instrument I'll definitely be sending them your way.

Happy New Year and I hope you had some nice time off. I just wanted to say how happy I am with the 967 Euphonium. I have much catch-up practising to do in order to do the quality of the euphonium justice, but having this fine quality instrument makes the task so much more pleasurable.  Thank you for your excellent service and this top quality instrument.

Thanks again for the fabulous service and I'm very pleased with my instrument and the extras you provided, it's really got me off to a good start! As an added bonus I'm sure you'll appreciate is that our Greyhound thinks it's some kind of sorcery and goes into full play mode every time I play or even buzz so he's having a great time as well!  I look forward to doing business with you again in the future.

Just wanted to drop you a note thanking you for the Geneva cornet – it is fabulous and my son is delighted.  He played it today for the first time in his school lesson and everyone wanted to have a go.  Thanks for your help getting this to me in time.
