Valuation

Are you looking for an instrument or bow? We would like to offer you a little help with your choice, since you don’t buy a musical instrument everyday.

When buying a student instrument up to the value of 2000 euro there is only one thing to consider: finding the nearest violin maker. The value of an instrument in this price range is directly related to the condition of the set up. When choosing a valuable instrument, we observe the following criteria in this order:

  1. Sound
  2. Authenticity
  3. General condition, set up condition, varnish condition, execution/condition of previous restauration work
  4. Discrepancy of standard measurements
  5. Resale value
  6. Future value estimation
  7. Label or brand stamp

Don’t be afraid of the cost for advice from a competent expert. We are at your disposal.
