Name the instrument, model or maker if known, size, included case, and accessories. Describe visible wear and any repair or setup history supported by records instead of calling an instrument professionally serviced without evidence.

Test the functions you can safely check: keys, strings, tuning pegs, switches, or electronic output as appropriate. Photograph labels and damage, and state whether the item is tuned, tested, or sold as-is under your disclosed terms. For an electronic instrument, identify the tested power supply and any included cable. Include a close view of serial labels and controls, while hiding private seller or prior-owner details.

A short sound check does not establish authenticity or long-term condition, and buyers may need a separate setup. Avoid claiming a professional repair or original component without proof; confirm collection or delivery arrangements for delicate instruments.
