Sell us your broken keyboard...

We are always interested in non-working keyboards* that we can use for parts donors. If you have one you would like to recycle, please call or email us, and maybe we can give you some cash - or make a trade - for what you might otherwise toss out. We're interested in professional keyboards; we don't buy consumer keyboards (Casio, Technics, pretty much anything with built-in speakers). We will, however, take consumer keyboards if you'd simply like to send them to us to recycle, or so that we can repair them for our Play It Forward program.

When we receive a parts keyboard, we re-use as much of it as possible. Whatever is left is responsibly recycled - we keep as much as possible out of the landfill.

Once we agree on a price, we will need you to box up the keyboard for shipping. Please don't spend money on packing supplies, or to pay someone to do the packing - these costs can be just crazy, especially considering that many places (music stores and furniture shops, for instance) will give you used packing supplies for free. We can't reimburse you for any packing expenses.

Once it is boxed up, email us with the weight and dimensions of the box, as well as your return address. Then we will email you a prepaid UPS shipping label, which can can print and tape onto the box. You can then simply hand the box to any UPS driver or center. Please don't pay to ship it on your own, because (a) our label will contain a reference number which allows us to keep incoming packages straight, and (b) we likely have a better shipping rate due to our volume discount. Once the package is received here, we will either mail you a check, or send payment via PayPal (as a personal payment, so that no fees are deducted).

If you are outside of the US, shipping costs usually exceed the value of a broken keyboard, so unless you have a vintage synthesizer that we could possibly restore, this is not viable.

*We're talking musical keyboards here. We are not interested in the keyboard from your computer...
