Classified Advertising

As of November 2024, the International Horn Society Advisory Council has taken the decision to no longer list Classified ads on hornsociety.net.

We remain grateful to all those who have bought and sold horns and related merchandise through our website since the IHS’s acquisition of hornplayer.net. However, with an increasing number of attempted instances of online horn-related fraud, this decision was made to protect sellers, reduce liability to the IHS, and concentrate resources on our programs and membership benefits.

For those looking to buy or sell second-hand horns, we are sharing the following sites/groups (in addition to local brick-and-mortar stores, which remain the safest way to purchase an instrument):

Facebook Pages:

• Horn Trader
• French horn trader, classified ads for used horns.

Brick-and-Mortar Stores (just to name few; please note that this is not an all-inclusive list):

• Balu Musik
• Boredhorns
• Brass Ark
• Dillon Music
• Hampson Horns
• Houghton Horns
• J. Landress Brass
• Pope Instrument Repair

For helpful information on how to safely ship a horn, see this video from Advisory Council member Ken Pope.
