Valuation, Condition Report & Certification

We provide professional valuation and certification services for violins, violas, and cellos, grounded in extensive experience with both historical and contemporary instruments. Each assessment is conducted with rigour, care, and a deep understanding of the instrument’s origin, craftsmanship, and condition.

Our expertise is informed by continuous engagement with the international musical instrument community, including regular visits to auctions, exhibitions, conferences, museums, and both public and private collections. We have carried out valuations for reputable collections and maintain a wide international network of trusted colleagues and specialists.

Our work is supported by an extensive library of specialised literature, as well as a comprehensive personal archive of photographic and technical documentation. We closely follow developments in the international market and maintain up-to-date knowledge of current values.

All certificates and valuations are prepared with precision, discretion, and professional integrity, providing reliable documentation for insurance, sale, or collection purposes.
