From the reviews
The service I received when looking for a rental oboe for my daughter while hers was undergoing some significant repair was amazing. They asked the right questions to make sure my daughter got a rental that was as close to hers as possible and even overnighted it to me (extra fee which was not that expensive) so that…
The staff is nice, knowledgeable, and helpful! Great place to get my son's oboe reeds. I ordered online and they processed it immediately! Plus they ran a double reed camp over the summer. My son loved his teacher and it really helped him get a head start on his instrument.
The business owner and her staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. We received great customer service.
Buying a new bassoon is quite an investment, and Bocal Majority took time on the weekend--outside normal business hours--to answer all my questions and help me feel confident in my investment. Gratitude abounds to Jennifer and team for running such a fantastic business with so much heart.
Selling or trading gear at Bocal Majority Woodwinds (Oboe & Bassoon)
Bocal Majority Woodwinds (Oboe & Bassoon) comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
