Questions about pawn shops and musical instruments

How do you know a pawn shop deals in musical instruments?
A shop is listed here only when a customer's Google review mentions musical instruments or the shop's own website lists them. The review sentence or website note is shown under each of the top shops.
Do pawn shops buy musical instruments?
Many do. At 89 shops listed here, a customer's review says they sold or pawned musical instruments there. What a shop takes in can change, so call ahead and ask.
Can I pawn musical instruments instead of selling?
Often, yes. With a pawn loan the shop holds the item and gives you a pawn ticket; repay the loan within the loan period to get it back, or the shop keeps it. Rules and fees vary by state, so ask for the terms in writing.
