Used Instrument Sale

For more than 35 years, State College Music Boosters has coordinated an annual Used Instrument Sale in September. This is a great opportunity for beginning students to own their own instrument and for more advanced students to upgrade instruments at a reasonable cost.

The night before the sale, quality used instruments are accepted on consignment. Teachers can help evaluate and price the instruments. During the sale, music teachers are available to help beginners select an appropriate instrument.
