Who We Are
Why Buy a Used Instrument?
Our Inventory
Centex Brass is your trusted source for pre-owned trumpets, cornets, and flugelhorns.
We have been selling top-quality instruments for the past 20 years.
We sell late model Bach, Yamaha and Schilke trumpets and also sell vintage and collectible instruments from Olds, Conn, Benge, King, Martin, Selmer, and others.
Some very good players prefer vintage American brands to today’s current models but we try to have a good selection of both newer and vintage professional horns.

Why Buy a Used Instrument?
Why Buy a Used Instrument?
Why Buy a Used Instrument?
Many professional players don’t play on brand new instruments unless they are an endorsing artist and a manufacturer provides them with a new instruments as a part of their endorsing deal.
Just like with many new products, there is immediate depreciation on a new horn as soon as it leaves the music store.
Properly cared for and maintained, a used horn will hold its value and last for decades.
Centex Brass means Quality, Value, and Service
