Instrument Condition
The condition of all DIGIMART products can be divided into seven grades, with S being the highest grade and C being the worst grade, so you need to pay special attention when buying used products.
- ▲S means the product is brand new
- A+ means that the product is for resale but in the same condition as a new product
- A means the product is in good condition (usually no obvious dirt or marks from use)
- B+ means that the merchandise can be used as usual
- B means the merchandise may need to be repaired for the purpose for which it was used
- C+ means that the merchandise is functionally faulty and may not be fully functional
- C means the merchandise is defective, which usually means that it is unusable due to wear and tear or malfunction.
*It is worth noting that DIGIMART does not clearly state the criteria for each grade, so it is best to read the product description when selecting a used instrument. If you have any questions about the product, please feel free to contact customer service for confirmation.

1. Search for products
You can search by product category. Chrome users can right-click and select "Translate to English" to make it easier to navigate the site.
▼You can also search from instrument brands by clicking on the Brand list.
To search for a product, if you already have a target, you can enter the product or brand name directly into the search bar at the top of the site. To get the best results, we recommend that you enter a Japanese name or keyword. Check out our handy tools to help find Japanese products online.
2. Confirm product information
When you find a product you like, make sure you check the product details, including price, sale date, and product status, etc. DIGIMART products are marked with a tax-inclusive price, and the status level and store where the product is sold are displayed at the bottom.
▼Each instrument should have a large number of photos (3 or more) for confirmation. If not, you should question the item's condition/authenticity. Please ask us to liaise with the seller for more information if you are unsure.
▼Check the "Product Description" section carefully, not only for the brand and name of the instrument but also for the condition of the instrument (any dirt or scratches, etc.).
▲ Since international shipping costs depend mainly on the weight and size of the package, and musical instruments generally have a certain size and weight, remember to check the weight of the product! For example, the guitar in the picture weighs 3.85kg, plus the packing materials and cartons, the actual weight is expected to be heavier! Since accurate international shipping quotes are not available until after the item has been shipped to our warehouse, you can use the shipping cost calculator to estimate and compare the shipping costs, time and restrictions of different shipping methods before placing your order.
*If you have any questions about the product, please feel free to contact our customer service for confirmation. We can ask questions to the seller on your behalf, but as we are not audio/instrument specialists, it is likely that you know more about the equipment than us. We will do our best to provide as much information to you as possible, but we may not be able to provide 100% accurate answers.

Purchase FAQ
Check out some frequently asked questions our customers have about ordering instruments from Japan.
Can I send rosewood instruments?
Yes! As of November 26th, 2019, ZenMarket is able to ship Rosewood Instruments.
What is the approximate shipping cost for sending musical instruments?
Because we cannot accurately calculate international shipping costs until we have taken the necessary measurements and packaged your instrument (according to your chosen shipping method), we cannot provide you with an accurate quote until the item is shipped to our warehouse. However, you can use the shipping calculator to estimate the shipping cost, time, and limitations of different shipping methods before placing your order.
I am worried that my instrument will be damaged during shipping, can I request a package reinforcement service?
Yes! In general, we will take into account the fragility, size, etc. of your item when we consolidate it and pack it carefully. In most cases, our packages are strong enough to withstand the impacts and collisions you would expect from general handling and delivery.
If your product is very fragile, heavy, or large in size, you are concerned about the safety of your item, or you just want some extra protection, you can order our reinforcement service for just an extra 1,000 yen!
