Instrument Audit & Recycling Service
Behind every storeroom door, there’s a forgotten forest of flugelhorns, battered brass, and once-loved clarinets. Our free instrument audit and recycling service is designed to help music hubs like yours take control of your inventory - saving time, space, and resources.
Whether you’re looking to restore what you’ve got, recycle what you can’t, or simply get a clearer picture of what’s hiding in the cupboard, we’re here to help.
How does the service work?
We’ve already worked with multiple music hubs and services across England to:
-
Audit your existing stock, giving you a full picture of what’s working, what’s fixable, and what needs to go
-
Log all asset-tagged instruments so you can keep your inventory records up to date
-
Restore and repair viable instruments so they’re ready for the next generation of players
-
Recycle unrepairable instruments in an environmentally responsible way, freeing up precious space
-
Upskill your staff with practical guidance on basic repairs and instrument care.
Case Studies
"Partnership with pBone Music has unlocked so many additional benefits for our hub and the musical community in Sheffield. They have supported us at events, sponsored our youth brass band, and are helping us recycle our old instrument stock."
