PianoBench Sheet Music Condition Guide
|
AS NEW - Crisp and fresh, clean and unmarked, no defects.
FINE - Near-perfect and free of defects, but just not as crisp as a new piece. No tears, no stains, corners must be mostly sharp, only the slightest handling wear is allowed. An original store stamp is allowed, but no writing.
VERY GOOD - A very clean piece with only slight defects. Edges and corners can show some light wear but no tears greater than 1/2 inch anywhere. Handling wear is allowed but must be light. One or two light creases are OK, only some light soiling. Stains and other damage are not allowed. Can have a store stamp, label or owner’s name written on cover, some light pencil notations are allowed inside on the music.
GOOD - The average used piece. Defects can include handling wear, edge and corner wear, light creases, tears up to 1”, a light water stain (but no damage), up to 50% spine split, writing, a label, or a store stamp on the cover, or other acceptable minor defects. Can be mended inside with tape - no tape on cover.
FAIR - More than average wear. Defects can include handling wear, edge and corner roughness, creases, writing, chipping, 100% spine split, tape on the cover or inside. Must still be complete and useable.
POOR - Music must be complete, but can be torn, ragged, mended, stained, stapled, etc.
COVER ONLY - It is not uncommon for older sheets to be missing insert sheets so that the music is not complete, and this must be noted in addition to the above grades
