Step 2. Submit Your Instrument Info

Fill out the form and include a link to 3–4 photos of your instrument in the largest box at the bottom of the form. See Step 3 for photo guidelines.

*Note: If using Google Drive, adjust privacy settings so anyone with the link can view. You may also use WeTransfer or similar services.

Step 3. Upload Photos

  • Send a link to at least 3–4 uncropped photos of your instrument (compulsory).
  • Ensure minimum dimensions of 970 × ≥970 pixels so the full instrument is visible on the homepage.
  • Avoid cropping — leave enough space around the instrument.
  • Experience shows that the more pictures you provide and the higher their quality, the faster your instrument will sell.
Important: If you cropped your photo and it is too narrow, your instrument will not appear in full on the homepage; only part of it will be visible. See an example below:

Left: correct (uncropped) photo size proportions (minimum size is 970 pixels width). Right: wrong (cropped) photo size proportions

01 Correct photo size proportion – width 970 px
02 Wrong photo size proportion – width less than 970 px

Figure 1 (left): Correct (uncropped) photo size proportions – 970 px width
Figure 2 (right): Wrong (cropped) photo size proportions – less than 970 px width

Additional Guidelines

  • Please do not email photos — upload them to Dropbox, Google Drive, or a similar service and share the link.
  • Use a white background and highlight key features (window, beak, thumb hole, etc.) Example here.
  • Ads are usually posted within 2–3 business days, but delays may occur.
  • Sold your instrument? Let me know, and I’ll update the listing.
