The Brass Ark is an online website launched by trombonist, Noah Gladstone in
2010. This site is dedicated to the appreciation, collection, restoration and
sales of vintage and used brasswind instruments. It was with this goal in mind,
to offer a website where brass enthusiasts could buy, sell, trade and learn
about these rare horns and accessories, represented by a seller who is not only
an expert and enthusiast himself in the field of vintage brasswinds, but also a
professional musician and experienced seller. Located in Los Angeles,
California, hours are by appointment only.

The Brass Ark offers Consignment Services, appraisals, repairs, trade ins and
purchases used horns of the highest quality. If you have a brass instrument
you'd like to have represented, appraised or just have a question about it,
please have a look at my consignment page in the link above or Send me an email

The Brass Ark offers repairs at The Brass Medic, a repair shop headed up by
brass craftsman and superb trombonist, Brad Close.

In the Used Instruments For Sale section of this website, you will find the best
selection of used trumpet, used trombone, used french horn, and used tubas as
well as a variety of brasswind oddities on the internet. The items I represent
on this website can be new, demo, vintage, used, restored or anything in
between. As a professional brass player myself, I do my best to represent these
instruments honestly and strive to send them out in playable condition. I will
not sell an instrument I wouldn't take to a gig myself. I update the website as
frequently as possible with lots of photos showing a true depiction of the item.
I don't have online ordering and I don't plan on having it for a variety of
reasons... most importantly because I enjoy learning about you, your music, and
your history. If you see something you like Send me an email and tell me a
little bit about yourself. I'll do my best to help you through the process of
purchasing a musical instrument over the internet, which can be quite a daunting
task!

The Gallery is where I display my collection of brass instrument. You will find
photos and descriptions of the instruments in my personal collection. I try to
use them all on various performances around town.

In the Journal portion of my site I will write about new instruments or cool
people I come across in this business, post photos of other musician’s
instruments and information I collect that I think will be interest to my
readers. My hope is that this section of the website could be a great resource
for people looking to learn more about the world of brass instruments.
