THE MUSIC TRADER is a full service retail music store located in Maple Valley, Washington (about 15 miles SE of Seattle).  We are currently in our 16th year of operation in Maple Valley. In December of 2004 we moved back across the street, to our original location, next to the El Caporal Mexican Restaurant in the "GOODWILL" strip mall.  Within this 5000 sq. ft. retail space is our 1500 sq. ft. full-service musical instrument repair facility, where we are able to perform virtually every repair task from basic preventive maintenance to complete restorations on all instruments in the Woodwind, Brasswind, Violin Family, Fretted Instrument, and Percussion families.

Let THE MUSIC TRADER handle the repair requirements of your musical instrument, and let us show you that we ARE the best instrument repair service available in any market!

Our operating hours throughout the week are: Monday thru Thursday from 10 AM to 7 PM, Friday's from 10 AM to 6 PM, Saturday's 10 AM to 6 PM. We are closed on Sunday's

A trained repair specialist will always be available to you during these hours. In addition, we pride ourselves in being able to complete most routine repairs within a maximum of 48 hours from the receipt of your instrument.

WHY PURCHASE YOUR NEXT INSTRUMENT FROM THE MUSIC TRADER?

Because we are accessible to you – in person, and not just a faceless email. You can look at, hold and try out your instrument before you commit to purchasing it. You can take it home with you, without having to wait for it to be shipped at additional shipping and insurance charges. And, when you need service (and believe me, ALL musicians eventually need service on their instruments), you won’t have to pack up your instrument, pay for shipping, and wait for weeks (or perhaps months) before you get it back.

Unique to THE MUSIC TRADER is our 24 Month -- Interest-Free -- Rent to Own Plan.

This interest free plan allows you to own your instrument after only 24 months. Many other music stores will charge a similar monthly fee to ours, but for 36 months, not 24 months! That adds up to a full years payments going as interest. Additionally, all routine maintenance at THE MUSIC TRADER is included in the rental plan without additional charge.

WHY RENT YOUR NEXT INSTRUMENT FROM THE MUSIC TRADER?

For customers who are unsure whether or not their child is in band or orchestra for the long-run, and are not comfortable making a commitment to purchase an instrument, we offer high quality, name brand musical instruments for month-to-month rental. Our minimum rental period for this option is 3 months, after which time, you may continue on a month-to-month basis, or convert to a rent-to-own, or purchase a new instrument outright at a significant discount. All instruments on a straight rental plan are covered by our routine maintenance plan without additional charge. All new brasswind and woodwind instruments which are purchased on a rent-to-own, or outright purchase plan come with a 24 month extended warranty, without extra charge.
