Warranty Returns

Instruments are guaranteed to the original purchaser for three or five years from date of purchase, against defective material or workmanship, excluding normal wear or deterioration. Lacquer or plated finish is not guaranteed against deterioration due to perspiration, corrosive atmospheric conditions or abuse or neglect. This warranty does not include pads, springs, corks or normal wear from usage. This warranty does not apply to any defect which, in Gemeinhardt’s judgment, has been brought about by repair or alteration done by a repair person not specifically authorized to do so in writing by Gemeinhardt, misuse, negligence, accident, or failure to reasonably and properly maintain the instrument. It is recommended that the purchaser remove fingerprints from the instrument by wiping it clean with a soft flannel cloth as often as possible to avoid such impairments.

This warranty only covers instruments purchased from authorized Gemeinhardt Musical Instruments retailers which have been registered with Gemeinhardt.
