pInstrument Trade It Up Scheme

We are delighted to announce our next commitment in sustainability - reduce, reuse, recycle - by launching our Trade It Up Scheme. pBuzz and pBugles purchased from one of our official UK music retailers now come with a guaranteed trade-in value against any other pInstruments such as pCornet, pTrumpet, pBone, pBone mini or pTrumpet hytech. Save up to £15 off your next pInstrument purchase and support your local music retailer! Your old instrument will then be recycled or re-used by us or your local retailer so you're helping the environment too.

1) What is the pInstrument #TradeItUp Scheme?

The pInstrument #TradeItUp Scheme allows consumers and educators to trade-in their pBugle or pBuzz instrument bought from one of our authorised UK dealers for any other pInstrument and receive a guaranteed monetary discount on their upgrade.

2) What are the customer benefits of the pInstrument #TradeItUp Scheme?

For customers, the benefit is that you can make your initial purchase of a pBuzz or pBugle and know that your instrument has a guaranteed value for a future purchase. From a sustainability perspective, it means that their instrument can be recycled (after being thoroughly cleaned and sanitised) and does not need to be discarded or thrown away which is better for the environment.

3) Where can I trade-in my instrument?

Consumers and educators who have purchased a pBugle or pBuzz after 1^st September 2019 from any official pInstrument UK Retailer can trade-in their instrument for a credit against another pInstrument purchase from the same retailer only – we want you to go back to where you made your original purchase! pBugles and pBuzz purchased online from Amazon are not eligible for this offer.

4) How does the scheme work?

The consumer must complete the #TradeItUp form online before completing their upgrade.

The completion of the online form prior to the upgrade by the consumer is sufficient evidence for us to authorise the transaction with your original retailer.

The traded-in instrument will be returned to us or your dealer may chose to keep it and sell as approved “B” stock, after cleaning and sanitising the instrument thoroughly.

 5) How does the scheme work for schools, music hubs, and education customers?

Prices paid by education customers vary depending on the number of units the retailer supplies and other factors. Your original UK music retailer can confirm the discount you can expect to receive by trading in your pBuzz or pBugles. Our only minimum requirement will be that at least 20 pBuzz or 20 pBugles must be upgraded to apply for an education #Tradeitup rebate. We estimate the rebate will be equal to 10-15% of the price paid by the educator or school.

6) What is the trade-in worth to the consumer?

The trade-in value of the pBugle is worth £15 inc VAT discount off any pInstrument upgrade. The trade-in value of the pBuzz is worth £10 inc VAT discount off any pInstrument upgrade.
