Appraisals

   
             
  Whether you need documentation to insure your rare concert instrument, or want us to help you discover the origins and value of your heirloom instrument, our appraisal services are what you need. We have completed hundreds of appraisal certificates for rare instruments and our appraisals are accepted by insurance companies across the nation including Clarion Insurance, a specialized musical instrument insurance company. We can write a certificate for individual instruments, or build an appraisal list for extensive collections. To complement our high level of training and expertise, we maintain an extensive reference library on violins and their makers, and maintain contact with other experts around the world. We also conduct verbal appraisals when you just want to know more about your instrument.  We provide two original copies of each certificate, and keep a third on file in our shop. All appraisals and other customer information are kept in the strictest confidence.To schedule an appraisal, please contact us for an appointment.
