Kleinanzeigen music gear alerts by email

If the instrument you want only comes up used now and then in Germany, a digest email of new Kleinanzeigen ads lets you wait patiently and still be among the first to write to the seller.

Checklist for a patient instrument hunt

Know the exact model or size you want. Know the price range you would pay with and without a case. Decide how far you would travel to try it. Write the German search words sellers use. Then let the emails do the watching while you practise.

Patience pays with instruments that rarely come up, like a particular violin maker or a specific vintage synth. A digest fits that rhythm better than a stream of single pings.

Your mail archive as a price guide for violins and synths

Put every digest in one folder. After a while you can search it by model name and see what similar instruments were offered for, which ones came with a bow, case or power supply, and which prices looked too good. That makes your reply to the next good ad quicker and more confident.

Inspecting brass, strings and keyboards

For brass and woodwind, look at dents, valve or key action and pads. For strings, check the top for cracks, the neck angle and the bridge. For keyboards and synths, test every key, knob and output. Ask when the instrument was last serviced and whether there are receipts.

Meet, play and then pay. If someone will only ship against prepayment and the price is far under everything in your folder, keep looking.

Which plan, how many inboxes

Email is on every plan. Free: one search, checked every 30 minutes, one address. Starter at $5.99: five searches every 10 minutes, one address. Pro at $14.99: twenty searches, the fastest checks and up to three addresses, so a parent, a student and their teacher can all read the same digest.

Where mail lands is decided by your provider. After the first match, check spam, mark the message as wanted and add the sender. Kleinanzeigen can notify you about saved searches too; MXSender adds the choice of channel and one mail per check.
