Q: How much is my old instrument worth?

Like any antique or collectible, the "value" or "worth" of your instrument rests in finding the right buyer. Conn Selmer, Inc. does not deal in used, collectible or antique instruments. We do not offer appraisals either. Many dealers and music stores around the U.S. offer such evaluations.

Q: I found a Prop 65 warning on my Conn Selmer product. What does it mean?

"This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm," is not what you expect to see when you open your new instrument case, bag or hardware accessory. You may even find it alarming. However, if you live in the state of California and look around, you will find this warning on items in your home, in restaurants and even theme parks. This warning is the result of a law passed in California in 1986, referred to as the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, or more generally referred to as "Proposition 65."
